Nature Journaling Workshop - Nell's Woodland

Discover how to slow down, look closely, and connect more deeply with the natural world through the practice of nature journaling. During these hands-on workshops, participants will learn how to observe their surroundings, ask thoughtful questions, and document what they see using words and sketches.

No prior artistic experience is necessary, just a curiosity about nature and a willingness to explore. Participants ages 12 and up of all skill levels are welcome! Please bring a blanket or chair to sit on, a favorite journal, and a writing utensil. Assorted art supplies will be available to use during the workshop. Space is limited and pre-registration is required for all workshops.
