À propos de ce contenu audio
Women have always been part of forestry, but their stories are often missing from the history books. This episode explores the overlooked legacy of the thousands who served in the Women's Timber Corps, known as “Lumberjills”.
Elle McAllister is joined by a passionate advocate, Joanna Foat, working to ensure these stories are not forgotten, uncovering the contributions of past generations, and highlighting why they still matter today.
