KtfNj - Nature Journaling @Strawberry Hill, GGP
Details
Would you like to slow down, notice more, and invite a sense of awe, calm, and wonder into your day?
Join us for a Nature Journaling adventure every third Sunday of the month! Each month, we explore a different natural gem within San Francisco, pausing to capture our observations, curiosity, and moments of joy in our journals — using words, pictures, and numbers.
The 12-acre doughnut-shaped Blue Heron Lake surrounds Strawberry Hill Island, a wooded hill named for the wild strawberries that once flourished on its flanks. Trails follow the shoreline and climb to the hill’s summit, the highest point in Golden Gate Park (GGP) at more than 400 feet. You can still catch glimpses of the city through the thick groves of trees.
