Nature Journaling Butterflies!

Nature Journaling Pipevine Swallowtails and their Host Plant!
In this class we will combine sketches, notes, and hand-drawn diagrams to delve into the fascinating world of Pipevine Swallowtails at Hallberg Butterfly Gardens! Participants will get the opportunity to observe and record directly into their own journals like the first naturalists. Guidance will be given on nature journaling tips, drawing techniques, but focus will be on each participant being their own scientist and artist. By the end of the class you will have several journal pages filled with notes, sketches, and observations.
