Nature journaling is a fantastic way to get away from the everyday hustle, bustle, and rush; and practice patience, observational skills, and creative expression. It can be an opportunity to get out and experience the great outdoors. Keeping a nature journal is a great way to become acquainted, or get reacquainted, with our natural world.

Nature journaling can help:

• Improve your mood
• Gain mental clarity
• Unplug from technology
• Boost memory
• Reduce stress levels
• Practice presence
• Improve critical thinking and problem solving
• Deepen your appreciation for nature

Join us for this hands-on workshop to learn the basic skills of nature journaling and several Project Learning Tree activities that can be used in your journaling experiences. Participants will make their own field journal, use their senses to explore our environment, practice basic sketching techniques, and create a unique nature poem. No art skills needed! Materials, supplies, resources and door prizes will be provided.
