KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL, 3RD EDITION
DEEPEN YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE NATURAL WORLD ALL AROUND YOU
CLARE WALKER LESLIE
Originally published in 2000 with endorsements from E.O. Wilson and Jane Goodall, Clare Walker Leslies Keeping a Nature Journal was at the forefront of the nature observation and journaling movement. Leslies approach has long been acclaimed for its accessible style of teaching people to see, witness, and appreciate the wonders of nature, and her classic guide is still used by individuals, groups, and educators ranging from elementary school teachers to college-level instructors. The third edition features more of Leslies step-by-step drawing techniques, a new selection of pages from her own journals (which shes kept for 40 years), and an expanded range of prompts for observing particular aspects of the natural world in any location. With an emphasis on learning to see and observe, Leslie shows how drawing nature doesnt require special skills, artistic ability, or even nature knowledge, and it is a tool everyone can use to record observations and experience the benefits of a stronger connection to the natural world.
