———————————————————
Nature journaling is the art of seeing and recording the world around you. Keeping a nature journal or field notebook can both deepen your connections to the natural world and help you learn more about it. Neither science education nor art training is needed—you will develop the skills of a naturalist and a field sketch-artist along the way. In this class you will learn the techniques and skills to get started on a lifelong practice of nature journaling and field sketching.
