Nature Journaling Class

Are you interested in Nature Journaling and don’t know how to start?  We have the class for you!  Nature Journaling is a great way to slow down to discover and explore the nature around us.  We will teach observation, writing, measurement and recording skills.  You do not need to be an “artist” to be a nature journalist.  You just need a little curiosity.  This is a monthly class with a different theme and skill each month.  Recommended ages 11+

Cost is $5 per person.  Purchase the starter kit for an additional $5 per person.

The River Center reserves the right to cancel the program due to low registration, unforeseen circumstances, or inclement weather. Participants will be notified as soon as possible in the event of cancellation.
