A Beginner's Guide to Nature Journaling
Wednesday, June 22nd from 2-3:30 p.m.

Please pre-register by clicking this link

Do you love looking out the window, hiking, tending garden, or something in-between? From scientific discovery to creative art to casual doodling (in words or pictures), nature journals are a way to explore, re-create, and/or express our relationship with the natural world. Come join us for a fun, relaxing workshop as we explore types of journals and participate in some hands-on exercises to start creating our own.  You may come away with a rewarding new (or renewed) hobby. All levels of experience are very welcome! You don’t need to be an artist, writer, scientist, or photographer to enjoy the benefits of this enriching activity (though any of those talents are certainly also welcome!)
Materials Needed: None! Participants will be provided with a blank journal.
About the Instructor: Roz Kubek is a poet and casual nature lover. She’s also a popular workshop and webinar presenter at Pembroke Public Library.
