Dec Nature Journal Club Meetup

Let’s nature journal! Practice new techniques, meet new nature lovers, and build a deep connection with the nature around you. Everyone is welcome at our Wichita Nature Journal Club, no matter your skill level or age. Children may join alongside a responsible adult.

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.
