Find your confidence, build your skills, and connect with community in the great outdoors!
As part of our Forest Fridays series, Elachee is excited to launch the brand-new Women of the Woods Club—a monthly gathering designed to empower women to explore nature with knowledge, safety, and confidence. Some months will feature special guest speakers with extensive knowledge, ready to share their experience and expertise with participants!
