Nature journaling is a powerful tool for learning about plants and animals, a mindful practice for connecting to nature, and just a great way to spend time outside. Managing Director and passionate nature journaler Eleanor Harris runs quarterly nature journaling meetups to help people develop their nature journaling skills and meet other nature journalers in the area. Whether you have been nature journaling for years or have never nature journaled before but want to try it out, this event is for you! In February, we will be focusing on ducks! Eleanor will give a brief introduction to the biology and identification of the ducks that spend the winter on our ponds and some tips about journaling ducks. Then we’ll spend most of the program out on the trail drawing and writing about our discoveries.

Cost: Free!

Age: Adults and children accompanied by an adult.

Bring: Please bring a journal and art supplies. Just a piece of paper and pencil will be enough. Eleanor will have a limited number of John Muir Laws’ nature journals for sale.

Weather policy: Date and time subject to change dependent on weather. If the weather is too cold or otherwise uncooperative we will postpone to February 24 at the same time.

Registration is REQUIRED.
