Nature Journaling Single Class

FOR ADULTS 18+
Ready to take a deep dive into the natural world?
Nature journaling is a wonderful tool for observing and recording the flora and fauna around us. Utilizing our inner scientists, writers, and artists, we will learn to capture the intricate details we find. This class will cover the basics of nature journaling, including centering ourselves in our current setting, learning to pay attention to and record different senses, and beginning to record plants in our journals.
