Want to start a new healthy habit? Try nature journaling!
Our appreciation and awe of nature grows when we learn to slow down, make better observations and appreciate our surroundings.
Nature journaling is a bit of drawing, a bit of science, and a lot of fun. It's all worth the effort! Come take a walk with us and learn some new journaling techniques to help you become better at really "seeing" what's always been right in front of you.
Perfect for both beginner and seasoned journalers. No artistic ability is required! We want to build an encouraging community and provide the time, space and inspiration for you to practice this fulfilling exercise. Bring your own journal materials, or try some of ours to see which you would prefer to invest in.
There are no rules when it comes to nature journals, so we will try:
Leaf and tree rubbings
Quick sketches
Watercolor paintings
Poetry
Pressed flowers
Nature stamp art
Create lists of birds, flowers and insects we've observed
Write short stories
And more!
Nature Journaling will be held the second Saturday of each month. Students under age 12 are encouraged to attend free of charge, with a participating adult. The program will be held rain or shine and will move inside during inclement weather.
