Is your child a burgeoning artist? Do they come home from nature walks with pockets full of nature treasures? Are they eager watchers as the seasons change and animals migrate through? Let’s channel that energy into a nature journal!
This is a free program beginning at 2:00pm in the Outdoor Classroom. We will start in the classroom as we set up our nature journals and learn ways to journal, before taking a nature walk around Prairie Ridge to begin our nature journaling journey! Students will also learn how nature journaling could contribute to citizen science efforts, such as Nature’s Notebook! Please come dressed for the weather and prepared to take a walk. Trails may be uneven and bumpy at times.
Please note that this program is intended for children between the ages of 6 and 12, however these ages are not hard boundaries. If you have questions about whether this program would be a good fit for your child, please reach out to Emma at emma.blackford@naturalsciences.org.
