Nature journaling nurtures creativity and ecological awareness. It improves focus and observation skills and can promote a sense of calm and clarity. Join us for a nature journaling workshop and explore the natural world through the lens of local naturalist and writer Edwin Way Teale. The workshop will start with a look at examples from Teale’s work, providing inspiration and insight into his observational and scientific approach to nature writing. Then we'll take a short hike around Trail Wood, where participants will make their own observations, take notes, and sketch or photograph the sights they encounter. Conclude by sharing observations, reflecting on the varied ways each of us experiences and documents “Where We Live” – the theme of the 2024-25 Big Read. Register by calling 860-928-4948 or emailing trailwood@ctaudubon.org. Fee:  $10 CAS members and ECSU students; $20 non-members.
