Registration Requirements: Preregistration required.
Recommended Audience: This program experience is geared for adults or youth who are genuinely interested in nature journaling. Youth ages 7+ must be accompanied by an adult.
Program Description: Its form may include sketches, poems, and notes. Absolutely no journaling skills are necessary! This class offers the opportunity to see a subject with fresh eyes, ask questions to enhance your curiosity, and create a record of your observations. Join us to experience the joyful and restorative process of connecting with nature by putting pencil to paper.
Program Guide: Ellen Foley is passionate about nature journaling. She began her practice during her Forest Therapy Guide training in 2019. Ellen discovered that anyone can nature journal and found that the practice offers another way of experiencing nature’s wonders.
What to expect: You’ll learn the basics of natural journaling in this class—note that this is not an art class, but art can, if you choose, be a component in your natural journaling process. We’ll be in one to two locations for this program relatively close to Rowe Visitor Center. Total travel distance on level trails will not exceed 1 mile.
What if it rains? This program runs rain or shine; we’ll duck into a sheltered space if weather conditions are unfavorable.
How to dress: We’ll be outside standing or sitting. Please dress in layers to ensure proper warmth and comfort.
What to bring: Paper, pencils, and clipboards are provided. Please feel free to bring your own supplies if you have them. We’ll be standing and sitting. Consider bringing your own lightweight camp chair or a sit-upon (jacket, towel, etc.).
