Spring Nature Journal Retreat April 14-16 Palmetto State Park

Nature Journaling Retreat

Come join artists/naturalists/interpreters/educators in a three-day journaling retreat. This is a unique opportunity to spend time with like-minded individuals and improve skills in the practice of Nature Journaling. No skill in drawing, writing, observing necessary. Just bring curiosity and a love for being outdoors. We will be doing simple demonstrations, showing our own journals, encouraging you in specific ways you can overcome your fears of the blank white paper! The world of nature is constantly changing, with much to absorb and learn about. The Nature Journal provides a fantastic opportunity to record your own observations, insights, wonderments.

The Field Journal is a historically important tool that scientists and naturalists used throughout the world, before the advent of the camera. Discover why your own record-making is even more fun than taking a photograph! (Photographs, articles and clippings, e-mails and text messages of course can be added to Journals and we will show you how.)

Participants may stay overnight at the park (Make reservations on your own), if they have other housing arrangements, can join us for workshop sessions.
