Bring a blank journal or sketchbook to enjoy these nature walks, talks, and writing activities, as we celebrate the beauty of nature and a sense of place through observation and creative expression. Janice invites participants to slow down and activate our senses – smell, touch, sight, and hearing – as we walk, stop, listen, and watch. We will discuss relationships and changes in wildlife and landscape over time. We pose questions, record insights, and sketch. She will share several different types of nature journal techniques and provide handouts with writing prompts.
As the author of Mornings on Fair Oaks Bridge, Watching Wildlife on the Lower American River, Janice draws from these first person narratives and photography to guide students to share their own experiences. Janice began posting blogs that later transformed into a self-published book and a dozen podcasts.
