Nature Journaling
Designed especially for educators, this hands-on professional development experience introduces the practice of nature journaling as a powerful tool for observation, inquiry, creativity, and connection to place. Join Certified Nature Journal Educator Heidi Colburn for an engaging morning of exploration at beautiful Barnard Park in Goffstown, New Hampshire.
Nature journaling is a great way to spark curiosity and deepen your connection with nature using just a pen, pencil, and notebook. This simple yet transformative practice uses words, pictures, and numbers to help us slow down, notice more deeply, and develop a stronger understanding of the natural world around us. No artistic experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to observe.
During the first half of the program, participants will experience nature journaling as learners, creating their own journal page while exploring the park. In the second half, participants will shift into the educator role, learning practical strategies for incorporating nature journaling into classrooms, outdoor lessons, nature center programs, and community-based learning experiences.
Whether you work in a formal or informal education setting, you’ll leave with tools, inspiration, and confidence to help students engage more deeply with the world around them through observation and reflection.
Participants will earn 2.5 hours of professional development.
Space is limited to 20 participants.
