Monroe Lake and WINGS to partner for mini expo

BLOOMINGTON– Monroe Lake has been a partner in WINGS since its inception in 2020. The goal of WINGS, which stands for Women in Nature Gaining Skills, is to encourage and empower women (ages 16+) with the skills and confidence they need to partake in outdoor recreation activities in the south-central Indiana area. Each WINGS event features women-led hands-on training, with the goal of building a community of women interested in outdoor recreation.


To kick off 2024, WINGS is holding a Mini-Expo in The Commons Building at Karst Farm Park in Bloomington on Sunday, Jan. 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. No registration is required. Women are invited to drop by for a “sampling” of past and future event topics: foraging, fishing and casting, tent camping, archery, birding, seed sowing, and stand-up-paddleboarding. The Mini-Expo is open to anyone interested in learning more about WINGS, as well as past participants who want a sneak peek at the 2024 schedule.
