Dr. Ann Herda-Rapp (Department of Anthropology and Sociology, University of Wisconsin – Marathon County) and Dr. Joy James (Department of Recreation Management and Physical Education, Appalachian State University) are conducting a survey of Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) participants to better understand how the BOW program affects women, their lives and their relationships with the out-of-doors.

Ann previously conducted research on BOW participants in Florida, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in 2004-2006. Dr. Herda-Rapp is also a past BOW participant.

Those who have ever participated in a Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop, in any state or Canadian province, may help by taking the survey. (10-15 minutes.) The survey will be available at this link until December 10.
