Nature Journaling
for Adults
with artist Tricia Cassidy and the Marion Natural History Museum

Saturday, August 6, 2016, 9am - 12pm,
$40/members, $45/non-members

Observation is a key attribute of citizen scientists, and a necessary ability for all who enjoy the out of doors and the natural world. Nature Journaling is the perfect way to observe and document your nature experiences. A nature journal is a place to record our observations and to reflect on them. By creating a nature journal you may end up learning more about nature and about yourself. Our educator for this workshop is Tricia Cassidy, an Artist and Naturalist who has held similar workshops for the Soule Homestead Education Center in Middleborough, MA.
