Do I need to RSVP? Yes! Please RSVP to save a spot.
Where is the event?
Address: Harvest Square Nature Preserve, 111 Allyson Sadie Blvd, Harvest, AL 35749
We will begin the day at the pavilion, which is visible from the parking lot.
What will we be doing?
This is not a class! You will be given handouts and encouraged to explore nearby trails and the forest edge to find specimens to journal, with the option of returning to a shaded pavilion to journal. Towards the end, we will have a small round-table discussion about what we observed – share your journal only if you want!
The general format is: Explore, Document, Discuss!
Who is this event for?
This family-friendly event is designed to accommodate a blend of ages and experience levels.
We’re planning to collaborate with local institutions and instructors soon to offer events specifically tailored to younger children, but they are more than welcome at these meetings.
Please give the organizers a heads-up if you plan on bringing a large group of children. Parents and caretakers are responsible for their children during this event.
What do I need to bring?
This is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Brush!) kind of event. If you already have art supplies you’d prefer to use, bring those too! But, if you don’t have any supplies, don’t worry! Our event leader will provide materials for anyone who forgot them or needs them.
We recommend bringing:
How much does it cost to attend?
This event is entirely FREE. So, invite your friends, bring your family, and let’s all share in a day of connection, creativity, and discovery!
Anything else I need to know?
The pavilion offers shade for those who want to use it. We recommend bringing something to sit on, such as a jacket, blanket or portable chair if you choose to venture onto the trails or boardwalk.
There are no portable restrooms available at this location, but there is a Public nearby that you can use.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need additional information. We’re here to assist you!
We can’t wait to meet you, share in your company, and explore the beauty of the Alabama outdoors through the lens of nature journaling.
Happy journaling, everyone!
