Nature Journaling with Emalee Owens

Nature Journaling & Discovering Native Plants

Slow down, look closely, and reconnect with the natural world in this introduction to nature journaling. In this class, you’ll learn simple, approachable techniques for observing and recording what you see—no art experience needed.

We’ll explore the basics of nature journaling, including sketching, note-taking, and asking meaningful questions about the world around us. As we spend time outdoors, we’ll also notice and get to know the native plants on the grounds of Fredericksburg Academy.

This class isn’t about being an expert...it’s about paying attention. Through guided prompts and time outside, you’ll build confidence in looking closely, wondering deeply, and making personal connections to the environment.
