Did you know the sea lions only started hauling out near pier 41 after the 1989 earthquake? Now hundreds call these docks home, barking, napping, and soaking up the sun.
It’s one of the liveliest (yes, very crowded) spots in San Francisco — which makes it a perfect place to share the joy of nature journaling with curious passers by so come prepared to share what this group is all about!
ALSO - This is a special collaboration with Sunset Sketchers!
Sunset Sketcher's brains are trained for "How to draw", and Nature Journalist are in tune with "How to observe" skillset. Let's collaborate and see what we can learn from each other :)
