Learning to record your experiences with the natural world through drawing and writing will help you see the world with new eyes and take your connection with nature to a completely different level. You’ll find out how to set up your journal and kit, and engage with nature on your doorstep in a special way.  No previous art experience is needed. There will be some fun drawing exercises to help you get started.

I’ll be giving tips and ideas to help you get going, and advice and resources to help you keep going!
