Biscayne National Park

The park invites nature journalers of all skill levels and ages to come out to the park and draw what you see. So, what is nature journaling? It involves observing a subject in nature and documenting it through sketching, painting, or writing. Sometimes it can be all of those, and include poems, questions, or thoughts - whatever you feel inspired to create! Park staff is coordinating a once a month opportunity to stretch your creative muscles, get inspired by others, and share what you have worked on while learning about what makes Biscayne National Park such a special place. We meet up to discuss a monthly topic, then head out around Convoy Point to explore together and create something from what we see. At the end we share what we have created with each other. You don't need to be a writer or artist to try your hand at nature journaling, you just have to be a little curious and willing to dedicate an hour to get started. This is a friendly and non-judgmental environment to gather once a month to learn, draw, write, and share. Simple watercolor paper, basic sketching supplies, watercolor supplies, and colored pencils/crayons will be provided during the program (though you are more than welcome to bring your own!).
