CONCORD, NH - Registration is now open for New Hampshire's 2016 Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Winter Workshop, a one-day program where women learn outdoor skills to enjoy during the winter months.

The Winter BOW workshop will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2016, at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department's Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness, N.H. A fee of $55 covers the workshop, lunch and most equipment use.

A discounted registration fee of $25 is available for participants age 18-25. You must be at least 18 years old to take part.

Registration forms and a brochure describing the winter workshop are available at www.nhbow.com. If you are interested in attending, sign up early, as the popular workshop fills up fast. Registration forms must be received by postal mail; no email or walk-ins will be accepted.

Winter BOW participants choose one outdoor activity to explore during the daylong workshop, with four different options: Ice-fishing, winter outdoor survival, snowshoeing/wildlife tracking, and "Shoe and Shoot" (woodland target shooting on snowshoes).

New Hampshire BOW programs are co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (www.wildnh.com) and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation (www.nhwf.org), a nonprofit group that advocates for the promotion and protection of hunting, fishing and trapping, as well as the conservation of fish and wildlife habitat.
