Nature Journaling: Observing Fireflies
Description
Monday, June 3 & Wednesday, June 5 | 5:30 - 8 pm
Discover simple techniques to observe fireflies in nature and develop a nature journaling practice with Stephey Baker, local artist and avid urban gardener. Nature journaling helps you slow down, let go of the never-ending tasks on your to-do list, focus on the natural beauty of the world, and find a peaceful place within (even for just a moment). Using words, drawings, numbers, pictures, and even colors, nature journals document your experiences. You don’t have to be an artist, a writer, or a gardener to journal about the natural world. From this virtual course, you will:
- Learn a simple creative process for observing fireflies
- Access a variety of resources to help you identify fireflies
- Understand the life cycle and habitat needs of fireflies
- Explore firefly anatomy by creating a diagram in your journal
- Discover how to participate in free citizen science projects and make a difference in firefly conservation. Small changes can make a big difference in ensuring these enchanting insects continue to thrive!
Journaling in nature improves observation skills and memory, engages your five senses, decreases your blood pressure, and allows you to discover something new every day. All you need to bring is your enchantment with fireflies along with paper and your favorite pencil. There are no artistic skills required to participate.
