Nature Journaling: Fall Foliage

Tuesday, November 24, 2026 · 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Powhatan State Park — 4616 Powhatan State Park Rd., Powhatan, VA

You are invited to slow down, step outside, and discover how nature journaling can change the way you notice the world around you. This flexible practice of writing and drawing can improve focus, observation skills, memory, deepen curiosity, and help you connect to the natural world. Participants will be guided through easy, curiosity-driven activities that encourage looking closely, wondering freely, and recording observations in a journal. Master Naturalist and educator, Mary Larson, leads the monthly workshop, which features a new seasonal subject each month. Best for adults and teens ages 13 and older.
