Explore the practice of nature journalling to observe and document coastal environments. This workshop combines field observation with recording techniques, offering participants tools for deeper environmental engagement.
The morning will begins with an brief overview of nature journalling, followed by a beach walk to observe and discuss coastal ecosystems. We'll then find comfortable spots to practice observation skills and document what we see, hear and feel through drawing, painting, and writing.
Participants can approach nature journalling in ways that suit their interests, whether focused on scientific observation, artistic expression, personal reflection or environmental awareness,
