A nature journal is a space to record your observations, thoughts and feelings about what you experience in Nature. We’ll begin by taking a guided walk through the local woodland and meadow at Windsor Park, looking out for signs of spring in Nature.

After the walk we’ll return to the Environmental Centre for some light refreshments and under the gentle guidance of Artist teacher Ellie Green, you’ll learn how to set up a nature journal to record your finds using beginner-friendly techniques.

We'll take a gentle walk through a secluded woodland, treading softly as we soak up the sights, sounds and textures of the Autumn season. There we'll collect foraged items from the forest floor which Ellie will teach us how to record in our journals using really accessible, beginner friendly techniques.

There is a whole microscopic world to explore that sits below the surface of the forest floor. We’ll connect the magic of woodland mushrooms and the mycelium network as we learn how to draw and paint our fungus friends. A delightfully Autumnal workshop that is calming, grounding and deeply satisfying.

Nature Journaling is growing in popularity – it’s about connecting to your surroundings through a creative lens and using simple questions to enquire into and learn about your natural surroundings. With a drawing board, a range of paper and some samples of beautiful artist-quality watercolour paints, you’ll learn the names of flowers and plants, the song of different birds and some beginner-friendly sketching and painting techniques to capture the essence of a natural space.
