Want to start a new healthy habit? Try nature journaling!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

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 take a walk with us and learn some new journaling techniques to help you become better at really "seeing" what's always been right in front of you.

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.

There are no rules when it comes to nature journals, so we will try:

Leaf and tree rubbings

Quick sketches

Watercolor paintings

Poetry

Pressed flowers

Nature stamp art

Create lists of birds, flowers and insects we've observed

Write short stories

And more!

Nature Journaling will be held the second Saturday of each month. Students under age 12 are encouraged to attend free of charge, with a participating adult. The program will be held rain or shine and will move inside during inclement weather.
