Saturday, September 12
10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Haw River Trailhead in Saxapahaw Village
Slow down. Look closer. Make connections. Nature journaling is a powerful practice that can help you sharpen observational skills and engage more deeply with our ecosystem.
This workshop will begin with a short lecture on the concept of nature journaling, including tips to jump-start your practice. It will also provide an overview of the Haw River watershed, including habitats, flora, and fauna. Participants will then take a short hike along the river to reinforce this information and search for drawing inspiration. Lastly, the group will spend time journaling on a common theme.
Participants will receive a resource guide that covers the ideas discussed, as well as Haw-specific journaling prompts and sample drawings. There is no artistic skill required. (We promise.) Children who can engage in the activities listed above are welcome to attend. Please bring water, a notebook (preferably unlined), and a pencil. Optional: pens, colored pencils, watercolors.
