There is beauty and wonder all around us. Learning how to keep a nature journal of your observations can help deepen your connection to Nature journal example by Laurie Murrayart, science, and place.

Join our Zoom series where each class will begin with a presentation that introduces the ecology of native plants and landscapes given by Kellogg Biological Station scientist. Participants will spend the remainder of each class learning to document their observations of nature using techniques in colored pencil from Artist Olivia Mendoza.

This course aims to give an introduction to ecology at several spatial scales, including landscapes, communities, and species.
02/18/2021: Introduction to nature journalism
02/25/2021: Landscape and ecosystem ecology
03/04/2021: Species interactions within a prairie community
03/11/2021: Species biology of ants, moths, and plants

Across all classes, participants will learn art techniques to sketch landscapes, interactions, and organisms using colored pencils.
