What we’re about
We are a group of curious nature journalers who love to explore, observe, and document our observations about the natural world. This group is based off of Southern California, extending from Santa Barbara County to Ventura County.
We meet twice a month, either in person or virtually, to participate together in nature journaling prompts and to share our observations. Occasionally, we host formal presentations about nature journaling, art techniques, scientific concepts
All are welcome to participate in our events, regardless of your artistic skill or scientific expertise. Feel free to use whatever language (visual, written, etc) you feel the most comfortable with as you explore the intricacies of nature.
If you would like us to highlight any journal entries that you made with us, tag us on Instagram at @ci_nature_journalers
