Nature Journals 101: Explore the natural world of Lithia Park and create a nature journal of your observations

Create your first nature journal! Many important scientists, naturalists, and philosophers such as Charles Darwin, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and John Muir were all known for keeping journals of their observations, poems, and discoveries. On Sunday June 4th, at 2 pm we’ll meet at the Northwest Nature Shop and then walk over to Lithia Park to observe the natural world around us and then record what we hear, smell, see, and feel. Nature journaling teaches children to become keen observers of the natural world by drawing and writing about plants and animals in the field.  Keeping a nature journal develops the most important science process skills; observation and documentation. Christy Chow will lead this class for children 5 and older. $5 per child/parent participant.  Pre-register at the NW Nature Shop 541-482-3241.
