Introducing Outdoor Alliance’s Newest Board Member
We’re thrilled to introduce Outdoor Alliance’s newest board member, Lindsey Davis. Lindsey is the Vice President of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR), America’s leading coalition of recreation trade associations and businesses working. ORR educates decision makers and the public on policies that conserve public lands and waterways, and enhance infrastructure to improve the experience of outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. Lindsey is a hunter, angler, and volunteer citizen scientist, and advocates for uniting different outdoor recreation user groups around issues of access, wildlife management, and habitat protection. Lindsey sat down with us to answer a few questions
Outdoor Allies
They’re badasses on the trail, crag, and slopes, but they are also some of the most engaged citizens we know, leading the charge to protect the landscapes they care about and rabble-rouse on issues that matter. In this installment of our Outdoor Allies Series, the co-founder of Wylder Goods, spills her secrets on what she wishes more executives knew about advocacy and how her company is a game changer for women and the outdoors.
OIA: Together We Are A Force
The incredible women who lead Wylder and She Explores understand that selling to women is not about pinking and shrinking men’s gear. Whether through compelling storytelling or a curated online retail shop, Jainee, Gale and Lindsey are showing the industry what the lives of real outdoorswomen look like.
Outdoor Project
You may already be familiar with her through her work with Wylder Goods, and we dig a bit deeper into what makes this Woman In The Wild tick. From conservation of public lands to her evolving relationships with fly fishing and ecology, get the full scoop below.
Filson Life: Crossing Community Lines
When it comes to the outdoors, Lindsey Elliott does it all- climbing, mountain biking, hunting, fly fishing, raising chickens, growing food, practicing citizen science, and running a business, Wylder Goods. Because she has perspective from multiple and oftentimes separate communities, we asked Lindsey to share her thoughts from the cross-section.
Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
Perhaps one of the best things to come out of recent threats to public lands has been a new kind of alliance between hunters, anglers, and other people who enjoy the outdoors, like skiers, hikers, bikers, climbers, and paddlers. Lindsey Elliott has become a very willing ambassador for our sports, especially with devotees of her business Wylder Goods, a built-by-women-for-women outdoor gear retailer.
We talked to Lindsey about how she got interested in hunting—it involves her collecting roadkill, more on that later—and why she believes in weaving conservation stories into the marketing of a business that relies on the outdoors.
