Increasing Stewardship of Women-Managed Forestland


Women in the Woods is a collaboration between UNH Cooperative Extension, NH Timberland Owners Association, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and other partners aimed at connecting women forest landowners, managers, and stewards with the resources, skills, and community they need to make informed stewardship decisions that promote healthy forest resources. Funding for this program provided by a Landscape Scale Restoration Grant, U.S. Forest Service.

Our programming is offered to marginalized genders, including women, women-identifying individuals, and non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that centers the learning experiences of women.
