Wildlife conservation, historically a white male dominated field, has in recent years shifted demographically. At the early career level Women are now the majority, but the perspectives and logistics of the field have not caught up with this shift. During a virtual Western Section Women of Wildlife mixer in 2021 it became clear that there was a need for a dedicated event where the Women+ of the section could gather and address their needs and challenges. In response the Western Section hosted the Resource Retreat for Women+ of Wildlife in 2022 and 2023. At these retreats Women were able to entrust each other with the obstacles, struggles, and grievances they've encountered while working in this industry. Participants especially appreciated the support, resources, and networking that resulted from the events. The retreat inspired others to create their own opportunities and grow as professionals and individuals. What has resulted is a new community where Women are supported by other Women as well as similar events being hosted at the local level. The importance of events like this cannot be overstated and should be provided for all marginalized groups within wildlife organizations (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQ).
