Discover Nature Journaling

Bring a new dimension to your time spent in NATURE. Step away from the day-to-day and discover the joys of keeping a nature journal.

Discover Nature Journaling is a new monthly program designed for people who want to slow down, connect with nature, and explore the art of nature journaling—no experience required!

WHAT TO EXPECT: Some indoor instruction and outdoor practice. We’ll begin indoors with an introduction to journaling techniques and building observation skills. Then, we’ll take our curiosity, wonder, and attention outdoors for a field-based activity. Whether you enjoy sketching, writing, making observations, or simply noticing the small details in nature, this beginner-friendly program encourages creativity, curiosity, and mindfulness at your own pace.

WHAT TO BRING: Sketchbook, notebook, or journal (if you have one), and reusable water bottle. Nemours will have pens, pencils, colored pencils, printer paper, and clipboards available to use.

WHAT TO WEAR: Close-toed shoes (helps with the bugs!) and weather appropriate clothing

COST: $5 per participant; non-refundable

CANCELLATION POLICY: This program is held rain or shine. In the event of rain, the class will be moved indoors, where there will still be plenty of nature viewing opportunities from specimens to marsh views through picture windows.

Come discover the joy of slowing down, observing closely, and building a deeper connection with nature through journaling. Pre-registration is required, geared towards ages 16 and up
