"This program offers classes in traditional winter activities, such as snowshoeing, ice fishing and river rafting," said Lynn Marla, BOW program coordinator, "And we're adding new classes in winter nature painting, women's self-confidence building and one designed to teach mothers and grandmothers how to get children interested in the outdoors."

Complete details and registration forms are available on the DNR Web site at www.michigan.gov/bow.

"Registrations are filling quickly, but we still have room for a few more adventurous women who are looking to learn new outdoor activities and enjoy the company of other women who would rather be outdoors having fun than sitting inside and waiting for spring," Marla said.

Enrollment is limited, so register as soon as possible. For more information, visit the DNR Web site or contact Lynn Marla at marlal@michigan.gov; (517) 241-2225.
