The next Nature Journaling Club will meet on August 22, 2026, at 9:30 AM! This club is designed for participants to set aside a time once a month to journal, reflect, and document the changing seasons, while learning more about themselves and the park around them. Any experience level is welcome, whether you are brand-new or a seasoned pro!

During each session, we’ll take a quick nature walk together for inspiration, complete an exercise to immerse ourselves in nature, and then begin our journaling.

Nature Journaling Club is a come-and-go monthly program—you are welcome to attend every month, infrequently, or just one time if you would like. There is a one-time $10 program and materials fee that includes your journal and all art supplies. For every program after, Nature Journaling Club is free with park admission.
