Women in the Woods is a women-centric event that gives women landowners the opportunity to interact with a lineup of all-women forestry experts, creating an atmosphere where forest management training is tailored to female land managers. 

There will be two classes offered by the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) and the University of Idaho Extension. The first class, the Women in the Woods Workshop, is a classroom day that focuses on supportive resources and funding opportunities for forest landowners.

The Women in the Woods Workshop will be held Friday, April 5 at the IDL office in Coeur d’Alene from 9 AM to 3 PM. While it is geared toward women, anyone is welcome to attend. There are no prerequisites, and no level of baseline knowledge is required.

The second class, the Women in the Woods Field Day, puts participants out in the woods, rotating through different exercises covering forest assessment, ecology, and forest management.
