History Lecture Series at Woodlawn: Lumberjills: Pioneers of the Forest

As men enlisted during WWI & WWII, women, who would soon be known as Lumberjills, answered the call with axes and saws. These unsung heros cleared land for farming, ran sawmills, and continued the production of timber for manufacturing products such as telegraph poles, airplane propellers, bridges & ammo boxes!

Their hard work helped break gender stereotypes and paved the way for modern day female foresters.

Learn about the challenges they faced & overcame! 

Join Alissa Wetherbee from the Axe Women Loggers of Maine to learn about Lumberjills.

This event is free. Donations welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
