Women's outdoor groups in Bellingham are emerging as vital spaces for people of all ages and abilities to come together, foster community, build confidence, and deepen their connection to nature.
Groups like the Wander Women Adventure Group, Sisterhood of the Trail, and Trail Sisters share a common goal: to empower women in the outdoors.
The Wander Women Adventure Group was founded in the spring by Jen Gallant, who previously led Girls on the Run at the Whatcom Family YMCA, a program that empowers young girls through running.
