Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshops planned

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program has scheduled one-day winter workshops Feb. 19-21 at Lake Metigoshe State Park, Bottineau. In addition, a one-day ice fishing and darkhouse spearfishing class will be offered Jan. 9 at a yet-to-be-determined location.

Lake Metigoshe offers a variety of classes. A class on dog sledding is available all three days with a limit of six participants per session (this class fills quickly). Snowshoeing and tracking, winter survival and cross-country skiing are available Feb. 20-21, with each class limited to 12 to 15 students.

Women interested in the workshops should register immediately due to limited space available. The cost is $60 for dog sledding and $50 for the other classes. Take a class on two days and the fee is $90. Preregistration with payment is required. Equipment and snacks will be provided.

Information and registration forms are available by accessing the education/outreach link on the Game and Fish Web site, gf.nd.gov; or by contacting Nancy Boldt, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501-5095; (701) 328-6312; or e-mail ndgf@nd.gov.
