Drop-In Nature Journaling

About this event

Date: Last Wednesday of the Month (except for November, when it will be the third Wednesday so as not to conflict with Thanksgiving!)

Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Location: Montana Natural History Center

Cost: Free with admission/membership!

Fellow naturalists! Are you looking for community, accountability, inspiration, and more? We’re excited to offer monthly drop-in nature journaling / phenology wheel / nature writing sessions September-May. Bring your nature journals, phenology wheels, pens, pencils, and paints, and have fun crafting your observations in community. We’ll have some supplies available (colored pencils, micron pens, watercolor pencils, etc.), as well as field guides and specimens, and we’ll provide a fun journal prompt, too! For those working on phenology wheels – whether daily, monthly, or seasonal – this is a great time to work on your wheel template for the next month or catch up on your daily or monthly observations.

Scheduled over the lunch hour, this is a perfect mid-day break; please feel free to bring lunch or snacks.

This program is FREE with admission/membership!

Come join us for fun, creativity, and naturalist exploration!
