CONCORD, N.H. — Registration is now open for the 2012 Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Winter Workshop, a one-day program where women can learn outdoor skills to enjoy during the winter months. The workshop will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2012 (snow date Sunday, February 19), at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness, N.H. The workshop costs $55, which includes lunch and most equipment. Participants must be at least 18 years old. New Hampshire BOW programs are co-sponsored by N.H.

Winter BOW participants choose a single activity to explore during the daylong workshop.
