Sportswomen United<br />
SportsWomenUnited.com<br />
Sportswomen United was created with encouragement in mind.<br />
Although we have seen a rise in the number of women in the<br />
outdoor industry, founder Courtney Riser fears beginners may get<br />
discouraged early on. It is still very common to see women put<br />
one another down online with the rise in social media platforms<br />
such as Instagram and Facebook. Riser knows everyone has been<br />
guilty of judging others at least once, but hopes that Sportswomen<br />
United can help women come together and support each other.<br />
Sportswomen United provides reviews and honest feedback on<br />
products they have used before, letting others know what has<br />
or has not worked for them. They share their hunting, fishing or<br />
outdoor stories and experiences, whether they are good or bad.<br />
With these reviews and stories posted to their blog, they hope<br />
to provide tips and support that will ultimately encourage more<br />
women to get involved in the outdoors.<br />
Wilderness Babes<br />

With more than 400 national park areas, including 58 national parks,<br />
encompassing 84 million acres across the United States, outdoor<br />
enthusiasts have a plethora of options for exploration and adventure.<br />
However, maintaining these treasured landscapes, ecosystems,<br />
and historical sites comes at a high cost. Three areas of focus are<br />
necessary for supporting the national parks—Protect. Connect.<br />
Inspire. Wilderness Babes is an adventure collective that supports<br />
the National Park Foundation through inspiration, community and<br />
outreach. A nationwide ambassador team of inspiring, empowering,<br />
outdoor women lead the way in spreading our message of the<br />
importance of protecting our national parks by inspiring Americans<br />
to connect with their natural landscapes. Wilderness Babes<br />
operations are currently based in Portland, Oregon.<br />
