Grassy Woodlands Nature Journaling Group

Slow down and connect to nature through curiosity, noticing and journaling.

West Hume Landcare and Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre are starting a Nature Journaling Group. 



Our first session is Sunday 17 November 2024 9.30-11.30am at Wirraminna, Howlong Rd Burrumbuttock.



This is a free group to join, but a gold coin donation for Wirraminna would be welcomed. 



Please BYO water & something to share for morning tea.  



Nature Journaling is collecting and organising your observations, questions, connections, and explanations on the pages of a notebook using words, pictures, and numbers.
