Nature Journaling and the Art of Observation

In this class, the instructor guides attendees in developing a practice of nature journaling, using words and sketches to record observations, reflections and questions about nature.

The session starts in the Folk School classroom with time for participants to share their interests, goals and ideas for what to include in a nature journal. Then, attendees move outdoors to make observations and record them in their journals. The rest of the session is used for sharing observations, questions and resources. If weather is unfavorable for outdoor exploration, hosts will bring nature indoors for the observation time.
