Nature Journaling on the Valley Floor

  • 84 4th Street Ashland, OR 97520 (map)

registration opens april 6th at 7:00 a.m.

Join SOLC's Nature Journaling Club on their May Excursion to Whetstone Savanna Preserve! Whether you're a seasoned journaler or a first-timer, you're invited to slow down, tune in, and be amazed, using the simple but powerful practice of nature journaling. Education Program Manager, Tara Laidlaw, will provide an accessible introduction to nature journaling, and guidance during the open-ended journaling time, for those who want it. No experience or artistic skills are necessary, just bring a notebook, a pencil, and your curiosity! The facilitated session will end at 12:00 p.m., and participants are invited to bring a picnic lunch to eat together after we wrap up.

Difficulty: Moderate, Low Speed, Hiking Off-Trail, Uneven Terrain. Whetstone Savanna does not have any trails. Participants can opt to stay right at the gate and journal there, or walk as far into the land as they would like. There are no benches, so please bring a camp chair.

This property is protected to conserve special habitats. Therefore, we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home. Certified Assistance Dogs that have been certified at a training facility by an Assistance Dogs International, Inc. will be the only dogs that are allowed.

If you have any questions, please contact Paige Gerhard, Event and Volunteer Coordinator, at 541-482-3069 (Ext 107) or email events@landconserve.org.
