Hey all you nature nerds! This week Jen talks re-introduction of the European Wildcat in England! Then Megan takes us on another mountain trek- this time with Simon Yates and Joe Simpson- so get a good harness and strap in!

Organization to Support: The AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation

AWE Scholarship Foundation exists to break down barriers to entry to the big mountain realm for women from all walks of life.

https://www.summitscholarship.org/

We empower women through adventure and contribute to gender equity on and off the mountain.

They have a cool, inaugural calendar you can get for $30 USD that features women from all over the world who are pursuing mountaineering!
