Welcome. Let’s journal in nature together.
A world of infinite beauty and discovery waits just beyond the point where we usually stop paying attention. Nature offers us peace and a rich and meaningful place to learn. No computer program can replicate the richness of seeing a flower up close, the intrigue of geeking out with bugs, or the calm of laying on your back and watching clouds. The key to developing a closer connection with nature is deliberately enhancing your powers of observation and wonder. Learn how the methods of a field naturalist will help you notice more, remember what you discovered, and be actively curious. A nature journal is a lens that focuses our attention and crystalizes our observations, thoughts, and experiences. The system is creative, rigorous, and playful, easy to begin and learn, and will grow and mature over a lifetime.
This site is a resource of tools for your journey. Start now: you can do this, and the world is waiting.
