Nature Journaling @ Meadowbrook

Slow down, look closely, and deepen your connection to the natural world through the practice of nature journaling. Join us at Meadowbrook Nature Preserve for a creative and mindful outdoor experience where observation meets art and curiosity leads the way.

During this program, participants will be introduced to the basics of nature journaling—a simple yet powerful way to record what you see, hear, and feel in nature. Through guided prompts and quiet exploration time, you’ll practice noticing details, asking questions, and capturing your observations through words, sketches, and personal reflections.

No prior drawing or writing experience is needed—this program is about curiosity, not perfection. We’ll share techniques for slowing down, focusing attention ,and building a personal journaling habit that can be continued anywhere ,from your backyard to your favorite hiking trail.

All art materials will be provided, and a select number of journals will be available (please email bsantana@heinzetrust.org if you need assistance with supplying a journal). Feel free to bring your own favorite notebook and supplies. Come ready to explore, create, and see the natural world in a whole new way.

Please RSVP through the website to reserve your spot; space is limited.
