Women's Wilderness is excited to announce the newest member of our team: Program Director Suza Bedient.

Suza's roots tap deeply into wild places; Australia, new Zealand, Baja California, and the Himalaya are landscapes that know her well.

Her skills in engaging earth energies began as a child exploring the Appalachian Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay. As an adult she broadened her explorations, including becoming a senior field instructor for the National Outdoor leadership Schools (NOLS) with over 300 weeks in wild places. She is excited to get to know our community and "join with a wonderful team of wild women."

You can read more of Suza's bio on our website. Welcome, Suza, to the Women's Wilderness Family!

CELEBRATE WITH US IN TRUE BACKCOUNTRY STYLE.

The 20th Annual Cherry Creek Diversity Conference awarded the "Human Rights Award" to The Women's Wilderness Institute based in Boulder. The Diversity Conference is held annually in Denver and is attended by over 1,000 high school students from around the state as they learn and celebrate diversity through music, workshops, and seminars.

The Women's Wilderness Institute, founded by Laura Tyson in 1998, was selected to receive the award because of the "positive impact" that wilderness programs have on students' self-esteem and their ability to make new friends.
