Nature journaling is made up of words, pictures and numbers to record our experience in nature. This Sunday we’ll be exploring different ways to incorporate WORDS in our nature journal pages.

We’ll also practice nature journaling off line in our own nature, and share our discoveries at the end.
Open to all. No experience needed.
We meet at 9:30am Pacific Daylight Time, US on Sundays on Zoom. The session begins with an introduction of a topic, then we log off to nature journal in our own nearby nature, then wrap up with sharing our experiences and journal pages.
Sundays in July, 09:30 AM Pacific (US and Canada)
