Learn how to find your way in the wilderness at a one-day "Beyond BOW" workshop for women, Navigating in the Outdoors, on Saturday, October 25, 2014, at Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness, N.H.

Workshop participants will learn how to use a compass, read a topographical map and use them together to find their way in the woods. The workshop will also provide an introduction to a simple hand-held GPS unit. You'll get a chance to compare the two methods on a moderate woods course. The session will be led by Hunter Education and BOW Map & Compass instructors Randy Curtis, Al and Lorri Menard, Jennifer Caitlin and Monica Marcotte.

A brochure and mail-in registration form are available at http://www.nhbow.com. The cost of the class is $55, which includes continental breakfast, lunch and use of equipment. Participation is first-come, first-served. Women must be 18 years of age or older to take part.

"Beyond BOW" courses expand the offerings of the traditional Becoming an Outdoors-Woman fall and winter workshops. These in-depth courses are designed to give women the skills to do the outdoor activity on their own. It also gives participants a chance to network with other women who are interested in outdoor activities.

New Hampshire's Becoming an Outdoors-Woman programs are co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (http://www.WildNH.com) and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation (http://www.nhwf.org).
