SUMMARY:Nature Journaling Meet-up\, August 26th (North Alabama)
DESCRIPTION:Scroll down to RSVP! \nJoin us in the beautiful surroundings of Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve at the pavilion\, where we’ll immerse ourselves in the serenity of the great outdoors and put pencil to paper for some nature journaling. \nNEW Event Format for North AL Meet-ups (Please read!!!):  \nWe’re excited to announce a shift in our event structure to better accommodate the needs of our North Alabama attendees!  \nThe first 1.5 hours of our gathering\, known as the ’12+ hour’\, are specifically designed for those 12 and above. Following this is the “Family Hour\,” when we strongly encourage families with children under 12 to join us. This last hour is filled with activities more suited to our younger participants\, and is when our event leader will be able to give them direct attention.  \nPlease note that this format only applies to North Alabama social meet-ups and no other type of club event. \n \nDo I need to RSVP? Yes! Please RSVP to save your spot. \nWhere is the event? \nAddress:  Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve\, 1263 Hwy 72 E\, Huntsville\, AL 35811 \nIt will begin at the pavilion\, which is visible from the parking lot. \nWhat will we be doing? \nWhen attendees arrive\, they 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 of the “12+ hour” and the “Family Hour” we will have a small round-table discussion about what we observed – share your journal only if you want!  \nThe general format is: Explore\, Document\, Discuss! \nWho is this event for? \nThis family-friendly event is designed to accommodate a blend of ages and experience levels. We’re planning to collaborate with local institutions soon to offer events specifically tailored to younger children\, but we believe “Family Hour” will be a wonderful opportunity for them to still engage with nature journaling.  \nThe pavilion is just a short stroll from the parking lot\, and the trails are mainly on a level\, smooth terrain for easy walking. \nWhat do I need to bring? \nThis 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. \nWe recommend bringing: \n\nnotebook\npen\npencil\ncolored pencils\nbug spray\nsunscreen\nhat or sunglasses\nbottled water\n\nHow much does it cost to attend? \nThis event is entirely FREE. So\, invite your friends\, bring your family\, and let’s all share in a day of connection\, creativity\, and discovery! \nAnything else I need to know? \nAlthough we will be in the shade for most of the event\, do what you can to stay cool. We recommend bringing something to sit on\, such as a jacket\, blanket or portable chair. Restrooms are available at this location as well. \nPlease don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need additional information. We’re here to assist you! \nWe can’t wait to meet you\, share in your company\, and explore the beauty of the Alabama outdoors through the lens of nature journaling.  \nHappy journaling\, everyone! \n
