Join us for a morning of artful reflection at the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway! We will be meeting in the morning at the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway classroom to learn about how to nature journal and to reflect on the wild world of the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway. If you have never done nature journaling before, don't worry! We will teach you how.

Difficulty level: Easy-See our difficulty rating scale here. This project is suitable for a wide range of physical abilities. It’s great for individuals new to volunteer conservation work. Appropriate for children over 12 years old with a parent or guardian. The walk will be less than a mile on an easy trail. 

When: Saturday, May 10th, 10AM-2PM

Where: Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, Kyle Canyon Visitor Gateway

What you need to bring: Please bring a lunch, snacks, a water bottle, and comfy shoes to go for a walk in. Please also bring sun protection in the form of a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, or whatever else you may need.

What to expect: We will provide small, beginner nature journals as well as colored pencils. We will meet in the morning in the classroom, discuss the Spring Mountains and how to nature journal, and then head outside for a short walk on the trails just outside of the Visitor Center. Upon returning, we will spend some time in reflection and make entries into our new nature journals!
