Nature Journaling Series: River

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FROM 14 SEPTEMBER TO 5 OCTOBER.

Nature journaling is the practice of drawing or writing in response to nature. This mindfulness practice will help you slow down, notice the little things, and form stronger nature connections with the natural environment where you live. During this nature journaling series we will explore Wyndham's native flora and fauna as we follow the spring wildflowers through riparian, grassland, and costal ecosystems.

This is the second workshop in the series and will be held at the Lollipop Grassland Walk. Situated alongside Lollipop Creek, this recreated grassland display is home to wildflowers that were once commonly found in the critically endangered native grasslands that covered the Volcanic Plains. During this session we will learn a little about native grasslands, the different wildflower species, spot native bees, and try our hand at different nature journaling techniques.

You do not need to be an experienced drawer to be able to take part in this workshop. Join us to learn the the basics of nature journaling and to start your nature connection practice.
