Join us as we embark on a journey to slow down, observe, and document our surroundings through the art of nature journaling! Our next meeting will take place at Weting Preserve in Clare County on June 10th at 11:00 a.m.
We will visit a CWC preserve each meeting and go on a short hike to find the perfect spot to settle in and let our creativity flow. We will guide you through the process of nature journaling while you harness the power of observation to deepen your understanding of the environment. Discover how to create a personal keepsake of your outdoor adventures, from sketching intricate details to recording your thoughts and reflections. Swap stories, exchange tips, and inspire others to continue exploring and protecting our natural world.
Please bring your own supplies: a notebook or sketchbook and pens, pencils, markers- or whatever your medium of choice is!
Be aware that GPS has been known to take folks to the wrong side of Monroe Rd that is blocked by a gate and you will have to do some backtracking.
Either make sure your GPS is taking you to the preserve traveling from the WEST or under the assumption the majority of participants will be traveling from south or east of the preserve, this is the recommended route:
Take 115 heading NW to Lake Station Ave (turn North or Right). This turns into Ashard Rd follow the curve (North or Right) to continue on Grass Lake Ave. When that curves to the East take an immediate Left turn (West) on East Norway Ave, follow this until you come to Monroe Rd. Turn East (or Right) on Monroe and continue straight on the seasonal dirt road. You will see a two-track to the right, DO NOT take that. Weting Preserve will be on the South (Right) side of the road soon after.
