New Website Celebrates Women in Wood

Feb 21, 2017
Women in Wood

Women in Wood (WIW) was created to bring together passionate women from across Canada to share their love for the woods. Whether you work in the woods, with wood, or for the woods, WIW provides a networking opportunity to help you find mentors, seek career advice, or meet other passionate women. Co-founder, Lacey Rose explains why they formed this new collaborative effort, “Depending on where you work, or in what part of the forest sector, you might be surrounded by like-minded females, or you might be the only one. I have spent my career in rural environments, and am typically one of the only women in the room, and sometimes the only person under 50 years old.” And so, with partner Jess Kaknevicius, they created this new site with a “goal of bringing together women from across sectors including forestry, woodworking, arts, urban forestry, arboriculture and conservation to learn from each other and look for opportunities to grow one’s career or passion.” Check it out!
