Learn to Nature Journal! • John Muir Laws

Nature journaling offers numerous benefits, including enhanced observational skills, improved mental and emotional well-being, and a deeper connection to the natural world. It can also boost cognitive functions like critical thinking and creativity. Additionally, nature journaling can reduce stress and anxiety, and foster a sense of awe and wonder.

Join me and the Children and Nature Network for a two-hour hands-on class where he shares his best tips and tricks for nature journaling learned through his 40 years of teaching and illustrating. This class is geared towards children ages 8+, parents, caregivers, educators and anyone looking to pass this knowledge onto others. Children under 8 are welcome to participate with an older person’s help. 

To get the most out of this offering, have the following equipment with you when you watch:

• Unlined notebook or paper
• Sharpened pencil
• Nature space or object
• Curiosity and wonder
• Bonus: watercolor or colored pencils
