During this immersive weekend adventure in Yosemite Valley, you’ll spend two days exploring new ways to observe and take in your surroundings with an experienced naturalist guide. Nature journaling will train you to employ all your senses as you capture musings and moments in prose or poetry; create drawings, paintings and maps; and enjoy quiet meditation.
As you let your curiosity and creativity take the lead, you’ll learn to “think like a naturalist,” noticing details — such as hidden plants or animal tracks — you might otherwise overlook. You’ll end the day with a rich, tangible record of your observations and reflections, a strong sense of connection to your park, and plenty of inspiration to incorporate journaling into your daily life.
