Introduction to Nature Journaling

Nature Journaling is the practice of using drawings, words, and numbers to collect and record your nature observations, questions, and explanations in a notebook. It is a way to slow down, awaken your curiosity, and marvel at the beauty found in nature.  

This program will introduce you to the basics of nature journaling. From what tools you need, and how to use words, pictures, and numbers to record information. We’ll also discuss what questions will help you with your journal entries. Once we go over these basics, we will hike to various natural areas at the Center and make entries in our journals. No experience is needed for nature journaling. Come and start your journaling experience with us!  

Your guide is Shelly Rollins, Education Specialist at Schlitz Audubon and artist with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. Bring a sketchbook or unlined notebook and some materials for drawing and writing. Rulers, measuring tapes, and binoculars would be helpful.
