Join National Park Service Naturalist Jerry Hightower and the volunteer staff for an opportunity to explore nature journaling!

Discover that poetry, recording, and sketching can be important components of nature journaling. We will offer outdoor exercises in observation and recording in your journal that will improve your abilities and your journaling skills. Join us to expand your abilities and just have fun recording your time in nature!
