Nature Journaling at Yankauer Nature Preserve

This is a free/donation-based program. All ages are welcome, though youth must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required and limited to 12 participants.

At Yankauer Preserve, late spring and early summer are excellent times to explore deep shaded cedar groves, spot wildflowers and birds along the sunnier trails, or stroll out to the Potomac River overlook.

Late spring is splendid, no matter the weather, so dress for the weather and tune in to your senses. Bring your nature journal supplies (pencil and blank book, other supplies welcome), a chair (if you’d like), bug spray, and water. We’ll start at the picnic tables under the pavilion for a short introduction, walk the trails independently to observe and ponder, and eventually return to the shaded pavilion to add details to our work and share techniques and exercises to inspire our nature journal habits.

Whether you’ve been keeping journals for years or are a budding beginner, we welcome you to come out and put pencil to paper in the company of other enthusiasts.
