• Registration for October is limited to 9 participants.
• Outdoor only – gathering will take place on the trails of Rita’s Meadow.
• Masks must be worn when in a group setting.
• Respect the 6 feet apart/physical distancing guidelines.
• Participants must bring their own ‘tools’ (pencil(s) and journal/pad of paper recommended, field journal if you have one).
• Participants may bring their own blanket to sit on or picnic chair of their own for use on the trails while journaling.

Exploring and recording in a native meadow with nature journaling!

Park at the house along the gravel, and bring your own nature journal supplies, chair (if you’d like one), and water. We’ll meet in an open area near the house, walk the mown edges and trails of the meadow while we observe and journal, and eventually return to the open space again to add details to our work and share techniques and exercises to inspire our nature journal habits.

Whether you’ve been keeping journals for years, or a budding beginner, we welcome you to come out and put pencil to paper in the company of other enthusiasts.

• Bring your journal and any supplies you prefer.
• Dress for the weather, bring bug spray and water, and wear comfortable walking shoes.
• Bring binoculare and/or loupe for observation.
• Bring your own chair for use out in the meadow if you would like one.
