Pencil Miles and Sense of Place: Nature Journaling Session

This fun, relaxing practice helps us to connect more closely with nature, and results in the creation of our own unique nature journal. Both the practice and the end product are important. The practice improves our recognition of different animal and plant species, and our understanding of where and how they live. With time, it also improves our ability to observe, to draw and to write. A journal allows us to capture the moment (a sunset, a view, a critter, a flower, a fungus…) and recall observations which would otherwise be forgotten. The entries in our journal can give us inspiration for other creative projects, such as writing, painting, textiles, music, other craft, and so on. A nature journal can also be used to compile species sightings and other more scientific observations that are of great value to citizen science projects.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own mat as the sessions will take place outdoors in nature 🌿🍃
