Nature Journaling Basics

Have you ever wanted to try nature journaling but you don't know where to start? Maybe spending time outside brings you a lot of joy and you want to develop skills to express that joy in a creative way. This three-day workshop is for all adults (18+) who are interested in learning basic nature journaling skills and principles.
