Who: Homeschool Youth & Families

What: Take a guided walk through Yakona’s forests to observe a variety of ferns, fungi, moss, lichen, trees, and more. Utilizing guided imagery, you will sketch, write, and perform plant and bark rubbings in your nature journals.

Why: A nature journal is a lens that focuses your attention, enriches your experiences, and expands your skills as a naturalist. It is a practice that enhances your observations, curiosity, gratitude, reverence, memory, and joy. It helps you discover, think, and remember.
