Fall Series: Forest Floor Still Life

Shine a light on the forest understory. Delve into mushrooms, ferns, moss, fallen leaves, and forest fairies as we kneel down to take a closer look at the world from the perspective of our feet.

What’s a nature journal?

Nature journals are a place to record our observations of nature. This can include words, drawings, additional research you’ve done, reflections on what you’ve observed, and so much more.

Why Nature Journal with us?

Keeping a nature journal is an opportunity to develop both your observation and record-keeping skills. You don’t have to visit pristine wilderness to have a meaningful experience. Hone your naturalist skills from anywhere: a local park, a balcony, or backyard.

Nature journaling is an engaging practice for all participants, even those who don’t see themselves as artistic or crafty. Expect to have fun exploring a variety of techniques for tracking seasonal changes happening near you. The supportive group setting will invite you to stay curious and motivated and give you a chance to share your outdoor nature discoveries this fall.

What You’ll Need

A list of materials to have on hand will be provided upon registration, but you can expect to need a nature journal, a pencil, a waterproof fine tipped pen, and basic watercolour supplies. For part 1, we will mainly be using our cellphone cameras and sketching pencils, making it easy to get going and work en plein air before the colder weather settles in.
