  • Saturday, November 3, 10:00 am – 12:00 noon – Nature Journaling for Adults

    In the tradition of the early naturalists and explorers, you will be learning about the natural world by drawing and writing, listening and discovering, using your very own hand-crafted nature journal, at this Boston Nature Center class on Saturday, November 3, from 10 – noon. You will explore the sanctuary, using journals to write about and draw trees, rocks, landscapes, plants, birds, and other interesting animals. You will learn to observe the natural world more closely by using writing and drawing to describe what you see. You will use pencil, pen, colored pencils, and even watercolor in our journals, so that you can prepare for your own continued exploration of the changing seasons.
