For Adults
Discover the joy of observing the natural world through nature journaling. In this beginner‑friendly program, you’ll learn how to combine simple writing, sketching, and close observation to create a personal and meaningful record of what you see outdoors.
Spending time in nature can help reduce stress and support overall wellbeing, and journaling is a great way to deepen your attention, memory, and connection to the environment around you.
This program will take place outdoors if weather permits, but will move indoors with nature‑inspired materials if needed. All materials are provided - no art or writing experience required.
Participants will meet in the Beaupre Room (please ask staff for directions when you arrive).
