Nature Journaling Edition
This month we are going to skip our walk and enjoy a morning of creating art. We will gather some materials from outdoors to inspire our journal entries.
Feel free to bring your own nature journal and favorite art medium. I will have some basic kits available to use as well.
Description:
Roaming Naturalists is a monthly hike designed for adults (all ages welcome) that want to learn more about the natural world. Topics will range from birds to plants to insects and beyond. While each hike will have a topic of focus, we will allow the interest of the group and the surprises that nature throws at us to determine what we learn on our hike.
Meet your guide at the trail head parking lot. Hikes will range from 1-2 miles (rarely 3 miles) and easy to moderate terrain. These hikes will occur rain or shine. In the event of icy conditions, or excessive snow, the hike may be canceled. The Nature Institute closes for the weather when Alton Public Schools close.
