The Onondaga County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs is again sponsoring a "Women in Nature" event this year -- a free, day-long series of workshops focusing on introductory outdoor skills.

This year's program is being held April 26 at the Carpenter's Brook Fish Hatchery on Route 321 in Elbridge. It is sponsored by the Onondaga County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs.

The program's co-chairs Lisa Harrell and Denise Simmons are promising 22 different courses for women to choose from. Harrell said the available space at the hatchery will allow for more to participate.

"Last year we had 110 women. This year, we'll sign up 150," she said, adding participants will get a chance to participate in four different courses, compared to last year's offering of three.

The tentative course list includes archery, fishing, painting, shotgun, kayaking/canoeing, rifle, fly fishing, campfire cooking, birding, map and compass, muzzleloading, nature journaling, wild game cooking, crossbow, wilderness first aid, reptiles and amphibians and shelter building.

Pre-registration is required. Space is limited. Mother/daughter applications are encouraged. For more information or registration materials, email [email protected].
