Meet the adventurous, accomplished women who are redefining conservation through their lives in the field and on the water. Filled with humor, audacity, empathy, and intelligence, Artemis brings you new voices from our public lands. Whether you're snagging flies or tracking big bucks, Artemis introduces you to women from all walks of the sporting community. We discuss hunting, fishing, public lands, and conservation. Join us to be a part of the movement.
In this episode of the Artemis Podcast, we sit down with Artemis co-founder Maggie Heumann, Director of Engagement Partnerships at Trout Unlimited, to explore how America’s Roadless Rule protects critical fish habitat. Maggie breaks down what roadless areas are, how roads affect trout and salmon populations, and why these wild, undeveloped landscapes are vital for the future of our fisheries. From the headwaters of Idaho to the salmon runs of Alaska, we talk about the science, the advocacy, and the human choices shaping these ecosystems — plus what you can do to keep fish coming home for generations to come.
Here’s the toolkit that Trout Unlimited put together — it includes many of the plain-language talking points Maggie mentioned, along with ready-to-use social media and newsletter templates. You’ll also find a “Find Your Roadless Area” interactive map to help you explore these special places near you.

What We Stand to Lose Without the Roadless Rule
In this episode of the Artemis Sportswomen Podcast, host Annita Lucchesi sits down with Tanner Saul, Public Lands and Sporting Digital Coordinator and wildlife biologist for the National Wildlife Federation, and Gloria Tom, Senior Policy Advisor with the National Wildlife Federation and a member of the Navajo Nation, for a deep and heartfelt conversation about the Roadless Rule—what it is, why it matters, and what’s at stake if it’s rescinded.
Together, they unpack how the rollback of this critical protection could threaten elk habitat, clean water, and the cultural and treaty rights of Indigenous communities. The discussion explores what defines a roadless area, why these wild places are essential to both traditional and modern hunters, and how Tribal sovereignty and grassroots advocacy are key to keeping them intact for future generations.
As sportswomen, we don’t fit into any box or stereotype but enjoy being our full, authentic selves. There is no one definition of a sportswoman – Artemis celebrates the million ways to be one, and uplifts sportswomen as unique leaders of the sporting world and conservation. We are a nationwide community reflecting the diversity, leadership, expertise, and sisterhood of women hunters and anglers. Artemis sportswomen encourage one another in their growth and success as hunters and anglers, and role model women’s leadership in caring for the lands and waters we harvest from and know so well.

Barbie Poles to Bass Tournaments: Fishing Stories with Artemis Ambassadors
In this episode of the Artemis Podcast Artemis Coordinator Paige McMahon sits down with ambassadors Alexis Cummings (Florida) and La’Tonya Blanding (South Carolina) for a lively conversation about all things fishing. From catching bonnethead sharks on Barbie poles to competing in major bass tournaments, these women share how they fell in love with fishing, the species that have their hearts, and the unforgettable stories—both triumphs and mishaps—that keep them coming back to the water.
But the conversation goes beyond the water. Alexis and La’Tonya open up about the power of community, challenging the stereotype that fishing is a “man’s sport,” and highlighting just how welcoming and supportive the angling world can be for women. Their message is clear: embrace the outdoors, discover your own passion for fishing, and remember—there are a million ways to be a sportswoman.
