Two Day Workshop Course:
Take a break, slow down, and get curious about the everyday wonder and beauty around you. Explore the practice of Nature Journaling with Kathy DeVries, Wisconsin Master Naturalist, by collecting and recording your observations, questions, and explanations in a notebook. This two-day workshop is taught through interactive exercises both in and outdoors covering fundamentals of observation with word, numbers, and pictures. Our journaling discoveries will include plant, animal, and insect specimens in our Wisconsin ecosystem. We’ll explore new methods of asking questions, note taking, and notebook page layouts. You do not need to be an artist or a naturalist to begin nature journaling. The workshop includes a complimentary nature journal kit to get started. Just bring your enthusiasm and curiosity!
