What we’re about

This group is for those people who want to sketch and journal nature outdoors. Usually meet the last Saturday of the month. You don't need any drawing skills to get started nature journaling. All you need is curiosity and something to journal with.

Nature journaling is the practice of closely observing nature and capturing these observations on paper using words, pictures and numbers. You can journal in many different ways and for different reasons - some use it as a scientific tool, others use it to understand their environment, to connect with the seasons or to keep track of what is happening in the garden. Nature journaling can also be used as a way of practicing self-care.

Time spent in nature has proven benefits for the health of the body and mind. Nature journaling is a way of slowing down, taking in the wonders around you and increasing the connection to your inner-self.

So if you want to join other people spending time in nature and recording their experiences and observations, come along! We'll have workshops on how to get started, learn specific techniques and more! There will be time to do your own journaling as well as share and learn from others. We look forward to journaling together with you.

October Meetup 2025
Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, Memorial Brive, Bayswater, al, AU
✍🏼What to expect: Bird-watching (eBird list) and nature journalling as part of the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. There is a 1.3 km loop around the bird sanctuary that we can walk while doing a bird count and nature journal what we find. Kim will demonstrate the basics and share her journal and techniques or you can focus on personal journalling time. At the end you can share your page and learn from others.

All skill levels are welcome. Children must be supervised at all times. Please register if you plan to attend.

📖What to bring: A journal and your favourite mark-making tools as well as binoculars if you have them. Some good walking shoes, a water bottle and maybe a snack. Remember to slip-slop-slap-wrap if the sun's out, or an umbrella and raincoat if there's a chance of rain.

Cost: This is a pay-what-you-feel event. The suggested donation is $10/per individual and $20/per family, but it is up to you. Your support goes towards costs of running the nature journal club and is very much appreciated.
