Women in Outdoor Recreation

Women in Outdoor Recreation

As the outdoor recreation industry continues to grow, we welcome the many changes along with it. Notably, the increase in diversity, equity, and inclusion movements across the nation, which help to promote the message that the outdoors are for everyone! One example of this comes from a study done by the Outdoor Industry Association. They found that for more than the last decade, women have only represented about half of the participants in the outdoor rec world. But those numbers are growing! And we want to celebrate the dedicated women in our agency who help to keep your Idaho state parks open and running!
