Wild East Women Interview Series
 

Wild East Women (WEW) is an affinity group working under the umbrella of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) to support women* in engaging with trails and outdoor spaces in meaningful ways. WEW features interviews and workshops by women and non-binary folks who steward and advocate for trails, provides tips and strategies for outdoor adventures, and inspires women to get involved with hiking and trail stewardship.
 

*This group welcomes and celebrates cis women, trans women, and non-binary people who feel comfortable sharing in a women-centered space.

Women's Stewardship & Trail Maintenance Events

Wild East Women is seeking individuals or organizations who might be interested in hosting an event that inspires women and their allies to engage with public lands and trails as adventurers, stewards, and leaders. Previous events have included virtual film screenings, workshops, and a variety of trail maintenance work trips. These events are focused on bringing together people who identify as female and their allies in a supportive, non-judgmental environment to learn about the joys of nature and giving back to the outdoors. 

Hosting a WEW event would require sharing event details with the WEW group by completing this form. The event would then be promoted via the WEW network as a WEW event (with you/your organization as the host!) and it would welcome all women and their allies to join.

Join us for our next Wild East Women Network Call! Guest Speaker, Leandra Taylor, will be sharing her personal story and inspirations as an artist, scientist, mountaineer, and educator and what it means to "reach new summits." The summit is not always the peak or highest point on a mountain. Sometimes, the summit is the moment you surpass your personal limits. On this call, Leandra will guide participants in exploring how nature can be used as a space not only for adventure but for rest, healing, and creative inspiration. Reaching new summits is about redefining what it means to be 'outdoorsy' and how experiences in nature can be a metaphoric guide for our everyday lives.

 

During the call, we will also share upcoming stewardship events and other opportunities to get involved with Wild East Women.
