Introduction to Nature Journaling
Wickiup Hill Learning Center, Linn County
Sunday, June 2, 2024
Nature lovers, artists, scientists, poets and incessantly
curious folks will immerse themselves into various facets of nature journaling. We hope to inspire you to create a journal
that enriches your life through the observation of nature and the wonder in
your own mind. During the span of these 4
evenings, June 2-5, we will make our own charcoal for sketching – we will have one
evening each focused upon drawing, writing, and sketching landscapes. Each evening will be at Wickiup Hill and we
will use the trails and surrounding natural areas. Participants will receive quality colored
pencils, drawing pencils, a watercolor kit, a journaling notebook and more to
enable your journaling future. Open to
adults ages 16 and up. Instruction for
the drawing / sketching portion will be guided by Lynne Majetic –B.A. in
Biological Illustration, the writing - numbers – and nature portion will be
covered by LCCD Naturalist Chuck Ungs, and sketching landscapes will be covered
by Ted Doscher, LCCD Project Planner – PLA, CPSI. In addition to the $10 registration fee to hold your spot, you must send a check for $135 per person. Registration Deadline is May 6. Checks must be made out to Linn County Treasurer and must be on hand by May 10 to order supplies. Checks can be mailed to Linn CCD, C/O Chuck, 10260 Morris Hills Road, Toddville, IA 52341, or may be dropped off at Wickiup during normal open hours.
