Sables

Founded in 1984 by the women of SCI, Sables members are primarily made up of women who come from diverse backgrounds. All women are welcome! Sables is a community built on support, empowerment, and shared passion for education and conservation.

While many of the women who make up Sables participate in hunting, many don’t. The women who make up Sables typically have the following in common.

  • A passion for education and conservation.

  • An understanding that hunting is a socially and culturally acceptable activity.

Using our special mix of fun, food, forming new friendships, volunteering, and fundraising, SCI Sables raises money for SCIF’s education-based programs. These programs focus on conservation and increasing social acceptance of hunting and its important role in conservation and wildlife management.

Sables Mission

To further the understanding of our outdoor heritage, including the positive role of hunting, through the creating and support of wildlife and educational conservation programs that are consistent with the educational mission and purposes of SCI and SCI Foundation.

Sables play a vital role in the SCI Foundation’s Education Programs  by generating funds through fundraising activities, donations and grants to support these initiatives.

“It’s so important to be able to find other women that share the same passion of the outdoors and conservation”
