Web of Friends

Thanks to the growing number of women who love the outdoors, more opportunities are available to us every day to learn more about being outside and meet other people who live the same way.  Here are some recommended links to other web pages that you may be interested in.  In addition to these links, many are presented In the Woods under various subjects.  If you would like to suggest a good link that isn't here, please Contact Us.
