Nature journaling is a practice of creativity and curiosity that draws from our own experiences in the natural world. The process of drawing, writing and recording helps focus our attention in the present moment and place. Join artist-naturalist Kim McNett to learn beginner-friendly field sketching and recording techniques that will strengthen your nature observation skills and enhance your personal connection to wild places. You do not need to be a naturalist or an artist to get started, though these skills will develop as your pages fill!

Denali Field Courses: Discover the wild places of Denali National Park and Preserve alongside scientists, researchers, and topic experts. Whether you’re fascinated by the world of fungi, want to better understand the area’s geology, or just crave getting off the beaten path, embarking on a three-day field course provides the perfect opportunity to fuel your curiosity while immersing yourself in one of Alaska’s most iconic National Parks.
