SOUTH CHARLESTON — Registration has opened for the Becoming an Outdoors Woman fall workshop on Sept. 22-24 at Canaan Valley Resort State Park.

The program, sponsored by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, introduces women to hunting, fishing and other outdoor-related activities. Workshops provide a non-competitive atmosphere where participants can learn and explore outdoor activities with encouragement and support from instructors, staff and other participants.

Spots fill fast, the division said. Participants can register online at WVdnr.gov/becoming-an-outdoor-woman.

“This popular event provides an incredible opportunity to get away for a weekend to try out exciting outdoor activities and experience the natural beauty of West Virginia,” Ashley Anderson, state coordinator for Becoming An Outdoors Woman, said. “Whether you are looking for an opportunity to experience something new or feel like you need to renew your interests in outdoor pursuits, this weekend provides everything you need.”

Participants can choose classes in hunter safety and shooting, wild game cooking, overnight backpacking, navigation, camping, hiking, stream ecology, fly fishing, bait fishing, kayaking, archery and more. Staff from the division’s Wildlife Resources, Law Enforcement and State Parks sections also will be available to help and answer questions.

Each participant enrolled in a fishing course must purchase a fishing license and trout stamp and send a copy of their license with their registration and fees. Fishing licenses and hunting licenses may be purchased online at WVdnr.gov.
