Nature journaling for adults

Take some time out for yourself and enjoy nature journaling at this free regular event. (Bookings required).

What to expect:

After some warm-ups and a short introduction for beginners, participants can take their nature journals out into the field for practice and inspiration. You might decide to explore and find your own quiet sit-spot, or journal at the picnic shelter. Staff will be on hand to help with flora and fauna I.D., share some journaling techniques, and chat about points of interest in the reserve. Everyone meets back at the shelter for a chat and farewell to finish up.
