Marjorie Shropshire will be offering a free Nature Journaling Workshop at the Environmental Learning Center on Tuesday, September, 6th at 10:00 AM. Participants in this workshop will explore the benefits of nature journaling and then walk around the ELC campus. Participants will learn some of the techniques to jumpstart an engagement with what biologist E. O. Wilson calls “the little things that run the world” and discover joy in small details. Although steeped in science, nature journaling is good for personal wellness. By observing and documenting your surroundings, one creates a deeper connection with nature.
There is no charge for the hour and a-half workshop and no experience is necessary, drawing beginners are welcome. Sign up on the ELC website; DiscoverELC.org.
