BLOOMINGTON – Several local natural resource and recreation organizations and agencies work together to offer outdoor recreation skills and nature knowledge programs, with a model of women teaching women.
To kick off the fifth season, the organizers are hosting a free Mini-Expo to offer a sneak peek at what’s in store for 2025, reach new participants, and allow meeting and interacting with the instructors. The Women in Nature Gaining Skills (WINGS) Mini-Expo will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on January 26 at the Commons Building at Karst Farm Park in Bloomington. Participants can drop in to sample some past and future WINGS activities, such as wild edibles foraging, basket weaving, outdoor cooking, shooting, fishing, winter tree identification, and stand-up paddleboarding. The event will also offer themed snacks (while supplies last) and 2025 activity schedules. Anyone is welcome to attend, although programs are geared toward women aged 16 and older.
Women in Nature Gaining Skills (WINGS) aims to encourage and empower women with the skills and confidence they need to participate in outdoor recreation activities in the south-central Indiana area. Each WINGS event features women-led hands-on training to build a community of women interested in outdoor recreation. WINGS events occur on the 3rd Sunday of each month and are open to ages 16 and up. For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/SCINWINGS .
