Description

Nature journaling is a wonderful tool for nature observations, creating lasting memories, and making deeper connections with nature. Take a closer look at animal bones and skulls to discover the fascinating details that make each animal unique.

Build upon your own sense of place to maximize mindfulness and relaxation. Each session will cover the basics of art theory and practices, journal anatomy, and immersing your senses in the wonders of nature. Bring a nature journal and your own art materials such as pencils, pens, or watercolors. A portable chair is recommended along with dressing appropriately for the weather, water, and snacks. Be prepared to move along the trail a short distance and sit to document the beauty around you.
