The natural curiosity of children makes them excellent candidates for nature journaling. And, as adults, we can learn a lot from our kids. Our appreciation and awe of nature grows when we learn to slow down, make better observations and appreciate our surroundings.

Nature journaling is a bit of drawing, a bit of science and a lot of fun. It’s all worth the effort. Come as a family to take a walk with us at the JC Raulston Arboretum and learn new journaling techniques to help you become better at really seeing what’s always been right in front of you.

This journaling session is perfect for both beginner and seasoned journalers. No artistic ability is required. We want to build an encouraging community and provide the time, space and inspiration for you to practice this fulfilling exercise. Bring your own journal materials or try some of ours to see which you would prefer to invest in.
