Intro to Nature Journaling

July 11, 2026
9:00 am
- 10:30 am
Cost: 10
Attendee Limit: 10
Leader: Bernadette Waystack
Please dress for the weather and bring a hat, sunscreen and bug spray.

Join visual artist and teacher, Bernadette Waystack for an introduction to nature journaling. No experience necessary! We will use pictures, words and numbers to capture what we observe, but you don’t need to be an artist, author or mathematician. We will meet at Harwich Conservation Trust’s (HCT) Robert F. Smith Cold Brook Preserve to observe and document the flora and fauna. See how recent ecological restoration has transformed retired cranberry bogs into a wildlife oasis with rewilded wetland and stream habitats.

Suggested materials to bring:

  • Blank notebook/journal approximately 5”x8” (or even a few sheets of printer paper folded in half and stapled is fine!)
  • Pens, pencils, color pencils – whatever you prefer
  • A reusable water bottle and light snack, if you wish.

Alternatively, a simple “starter kit” of materials is available for $5.
