Life On the Ledge: Intro To Nature Journaling with Artist Rebecca Jabs

Registration Required. 

Nature journaling is the practice of drawing and note-taking in response to nature. Through close observation, we notice details we may not have seen, we may record things we might have forgotten, and we improve our recognition and appreciation of different plant and animal species.

This workshop, focusing on species found on the Niagara Escarpment, is led by science illustrator and educator Rebecca Jabs, involves active outdoor participation. Following an introduction to the activity by the instructor, participants will record observations through sketching and note-taking, while spending time in the natural areas in the vicinity of the library. Supplies and paper will be provided for the workshop, but feel free to bring your favorite sketchbook if you have one. Participants are encouraged to bring a foldable camp chair. Dress for the weather. In the event of rain, we will stay indoors.
