What is Nature Journaling? Nature Journaling is slowing down and carefully observing the natural world with pencil and paper. Write, sketch, paint, or diagram whatever you discover, and by taking the time to observe, you open up a world of natural wonder. Learn more about nature journaling and see examples.
