Nature Journaling: Vernal Pools

Teens and adults are invited to slow down, step outside, and discover how nature journaling can change the way you notice the world around you. This flexible practice of writing and drawing can improve focus, observation skills, memory, deepen curiosity, and help you connect to the natural world. Participants will be guided through easy, curiosity-driven activities that encourage looking closely, wondering freely, and recording observations in a journal. Master Naturalist and educator Mary Larson leads the monthly workshop, which features a new seasonal subject each month.

June's Theme: Vernal Pools
You'll pay special attention to the wondrous creatures that depend on vernal pools throughout their life cycle. We recommend signing up for the complimentary program Vernal Pool Discovery at 10 a.m. before the workshop!

What To Bring: The park will provide unlined paperback sketchbooks, #2 pencils, and colored pencils. You are welcome to bring any of your own additional supplies! You may also want to bring a collapsible chair to sit on while recording your observations. 

Inscripción obligatoria: Visit or call the Park Office at (804) 598-7148 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily. The cost is $5 per participant; payment is required in order to make a reservation. In the event that this program is cancelled due to weather, park staff will contact you to issue a full refund.
