Texas Outdoors Woman Network (TOWN) is an offshoot of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program. Our goal is to enable outdoor oriented women to meet and build friendships with women who have similar interests.

Our mission is to provide all women the opportunity to learn and experience outdoor activities in natural surroundings through a non-threatening and supportive environment.

Our outings include various activities and occur on a regular basis. Please visit the calendar to check out what is happening next. You can join us for a couple of different outings before becoming a member. Our activities include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Backpacking
