Art & Science of Nature Observation
Description
Dates: June 23-July 3, Monday-Thursday, 9:15 am – 2:15 pm
The not-so-simple act of observation is a lost art. Join accomplished artist Libby Davidson and naturalist and writer Heather Fitzgerald to practice slowing down, nurturing your creativity, deepening your understanding of the natural world, and strengthening your connection to place. Learn to see like an artist, scientist, and writer, and unlock the mysteries that surround us in both our forests and our own backyards. Throughout, we’ll explore how to incorporate these concepts into our daily lives. If you are an educator, you will have the opportunity to discuss together and create lessons that incorporate the principles and practices into your classrooms.


Open to the public, with no prerequisite skills required for the course. Participants should expect some light hiking and off trail exploration.
