Intro to Nature Journaling

with Andrew Dundas

Friday, May 15 | 10 – 12pm

Nature journaling fosters a connection to the outdoors unique to each individual who pursues it. It can be a means to practice art or poetry, a therapeutic moment of reflection, or scientific exploration of the ecosystems around us. Join arboretum staff in a review of the principles of nature journaling, exploration of other’s work, and visits to multiple sites across the Arboretum with optional prompts and tips for journaling. Basic supplies will be provided, such as notebooks and writing/drawing utensils, but you are also welcome to bring your own.

This program will take place outside and will follow easy trails and paved walkways. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time.

Andrew Dundas is an Adult Education employee with a passion for history, folklore, and global cultures. He studied journalism and visual storytelling at the University of Chapel Hill before joining the Arboretum’s Youth Education Department and later the Adult Education Department. Andrew is also a former cultural exchange student who spent a year living in and learning about the culture of Slovakia, while studying the language, history, and folklore of the nation.
