On our nature journaling hike, we will become young explorers and scientists. As we walk along the trails, we will use our eyes, ears, and even noses to discover the wonders of nature all around us. We will provide all the journals and drawing materials, so you just need to bring your curiosity. Along the way, we’ll stop to sketch interesting leaves, colorful bugs, or cool animal tracks. No need to be a perfect artist. Just notice what you see and let your imagination and curiosity guide you. It’s going to be a fun adventure, and we’ll explore nature together! And when the hike is over, you can take your journal home and keep exploring, noticing, and drawing the amazing things you find in your own backyard or neighborhood.
