Women's Outdoor Groups in Bellingham

Women's outdoor groups in Bellingham are emerging as vital spaces for people of all ages and abilities to come together, foster community, build confidence, and deepen their connection to nature.

Groups like the Wander Women Adventure Group, Sisterhood of the Trail, and Trail Sisters share a common goal: to empower women in the outdoors.

Wander Women Adventure Group

Founded in the spring, the Wander Women Adventure Group quickly gained popularity after its first meetup, drawing women from across Bellingham.

The group was launched by Jen Gallant, who previously led Girls on the Run, a program that empowers young girls through running, at the Whatcom Family YMCA.

Empower women in recreation

Gallant started the group after retiring from her career at the Whatcom Family YMCA and accepting a job at Fairhaven Runners.
