Summer is here, and outdoor recreation is on the rise, particularly among women. This week, Haley chats with Emily Jacobs of Uncharted Outdoorswomen about how the group helps women build confidence in the outdoors through hands-on education, mentorship, and community.

Offering everything from fly fishing to hunting, Uncharted Outdoorswomen is helping more women find their place outdoors. Through education, community, and a shared passion for conservation, the organization is breaking down barriers and creating lifelong connections to the land.

When we think about conservation, we often picture vast landscapes, working ranches, and remote forests. But some of the most meaningful stewardship efforts are happening right in our own backyards. This week, Haley is joined by Suzanna Fry-Jones, CEO of the High Line Canal Conservancy, to explore the 71-mile corridor that is enhancing the Denver region’s ecological health, recreational opportunities, and sense of community one mile at a time.

We’re not going too far outside Denver in this week’s Back 40, but that’s part of the appeal of Sedalia, Colorado, a small foothills community that serves as a gateway to everything the Front Range has to offer. From gold medal fly fishing on the South Platte to horseback riding through Pike National Forest, Haley and Willy discuss why this unique corridor between Sedalia and Deckers remains one of Colorado’s best-kept secrets. With sweeping views, abundant wildlife, authentic ranch country, and easy access to Denver, it’s a place that perfectly balances recreation, privacy, and mountain living.
