Nature Journaling

Nature journaling is the regular recording of observations, perceptions, and feelings about the natural world around you

Nature Journaling

Daily journaling – within our schedule & outside of class.

A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.

Nature Journaling

A diary or personal journal records your feelings toward yourself and others, a nature journal primarily records your responses to and reflections about the world of nature around you

NATURE JOURNAL REQUIREMENTS
