April 13, 2011 Girls, girls, girls

On July 11-15 N.C. Wildlife is hosting an interesting new event called Becoming an Outdoor Diva targeting girls 12 to 17 years of age .  I'm not certain "diva" has positive connotations but if it gets more young women involved in outdoor activities I am for it.  Here are some of the scheduled activities:

• An outdoors diva style show
• Building a shelter in the woods
• Learning to use a map and compass1
• Identifying animal tracks and signs
• Trapping and releasing small mammals
• Knot tying
• Nature journals
