What to expect at the Sedgwick County Extension Arboretum's Riparian Trail:

• Accessibility: Asphalt trails, uneven at times; distance walked is up to participants.
• Restroom Access: The nearest restroom is across the street (N of 21st) at QuikTrip.
• Bring your own journaling supplies.
• We recommend Organic Maps (Google Play, Apple Store) for walking trails. The app provides free, privacy-focused, open-source, offline maps based on OpenStreetMap data.

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.
