I started the Mount Shasta Nature Journaling Club a few years ago, but we are now getting back into the groove of offering regular meet-ups. Darmera Studios started offering weekly donations based meet-ups at for Nature Journaling every Sunday from 3:30-5:30. It has been really fun to focus on developing curiosity based methods that incorperate pictures, words and numbers.
To get even better at teaching ecology/plant biology, I am enrolled in the Wild Wonder Foundation’s Nature Journaling Teacher Training Program. All of my notes from the program (like the rubric sketchnote above), will be available for a free download or a few dollars to have a physical copy to offset printing costs.
As part of the program I am developing some activities that are custom to the Mount Shasta/Dunsmuir/Weed/McCloud bioregion relating to fire, fire recovery, and rare plants.
More to come in the upcoming posts!
