Conservation Winter Camp Lunch Series

Thanks to the enthusiastic response to our virtual Summer Camp series, we’re continuing during the winter months! 

Come take advantage of this cozy, slower time of year to collaboratively dream and develop next steps for stewarding your land. Join women landowners from across the state who share your passion for conservation and connect with expert advice, resources, and opportunities from our friends at Pheasants Forever around the virtual campfire.

Winter camp bonus: We’ll kick off each session with a recipe for a WiWiC favorite warm beverage!

At this Feb 2 session, come learn how to make a Shrub Hot Toddy with Mindy McCord, one of the women-owners of the Wisconsin-based Siren Shrubs.

Whatever your background, from beginners to experts, all women are welcome and we want to hear your story. Feel free to bring your lunch. S’mores optional. 

About Wisconsin Women in Conservation

WiWiC is a state-wide collaborative effort led by the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in partnership with Wisconsin Farmers Union, Renewing the Countryside and Marbleseed (formerly MOSES).  A three-year multi-faceted project funded by the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), WiWiC brings together Wisconsin women landowners to connect and learn about conservation practices, resources, and funding opportunities.
