Nature Journaling at the Arcata Marsh
Retired teacher and super-experienced Marsh naturalist Lynn Jones will serve as
leader for these sessions lasting 90 minutes to 2 hours. FOAM will provide clipboards and colored pencils; participants need to bring
paper and a writing implement to jot notes. A pad to sit on or a folding chair is optional,
as are binoculars and guidebooks. Wear weather-appropriate clothing. The goal is to sit quietly in one spot in the Marsh (locations will vary), making formal and informal observations of natural surroundings, on a small or large scale. Participants will write and/or draw observations using various senses. Lynn will offer prompts, but observation topics can be a particular species, ecosystem, or overall
environment. Sessions will end with a discussion about “What did this observation make you wonder?”
No pre-registration required; sessions limited to the first 10 people to show up at the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center. All ages welcome, as long as participants are able to concentrate quietly for an extended period of time. Heavy rain cancels
