You don’t have to be old or a broad to attend the
Great Old Broads for Wilderness Annual Broadwalk and Conference
Sept. 29-Oct. 5, but it helps to be feisty. The Boulder,
Colo.-based environmental nonprofit, started by women over 45, is
meeting in southern Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument this year. After a five-day “Broadwalk,” the group will
hold its wilderness conference in Escalante, Utah, on Oct. 3-5,
featuring speakers such as The Wilderness Society’s Bill Meadows
and monument manager Jerry Meredith. Great Old Broads director Liz
Thomas says, “We’ll see some beautiful canyons, take some long
walks, and talk about management and mismanagement of the
wilderness.” Contact Liz Thomas at
303/443-7024.
