About this event

Most of us lead very busy lives. It is important to take time for yourself to slow down and unwind.

This can be achieved by spending time in nature, making observations and recording them to connect to the environment.

Nature Journaling is a focused way to enrich your experience of nature, record your observations and connections to the world around you using words, pictures and numbers.

You don’t need to be an amazing artist, the important thing is the connection you have to observing the world and recording what you see, hear, smell, touch and feel. Nature journaling helps you develop skills such as observation, calming the mind, memory and curiosity for the world around you.

During the session you will be provided with a journal to take home and the use of watercolour paints, lead pencils and black felt tip pens. Please feel free to bring your own supplies if you wish.

Nature Journaling at the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden is a monthly event, led by an experienced ranger who is able to share information about the plants and animals in the Sydney bushland environment.

The session involves a bushwalk to immerse ourselves in nature and focusses on a different seasonal topic each month, such as a local flower in bloom. A location is chosen along the walk to sit quietly and journal. Please bring weather appropriate clothing as our time is spent outside. A wet weather venue is also available. The session is for adults and young people over 16 years of age. This is a monthly event and we’d love to see you back as each month offers a different topic.
