Thursday Night Nature: Nature Journaling: Observation, Questioning and Connecting! with Jack Hobe (October 26, 2023)

Learn how to document your outdoor explorations and make yourself a better observer by keeping your own nature journal. Join local naturalist/artist Jack Hobe for an evening talk about the basics of nature journaling (observation, questioning and connecting) as well as a live demonstration using a nature object. Hobe will discuss his background, passion for nature art and techniques he uses to look more closely at the natural world. Participants are encouraged to have with them a nature object (fruit, vegetable, flower, leaf, feather, pinecone, etc.) and paper and pencil so they can follow along as Hobe creates a journal page in real time!

Jack Hobe—artist, birder, naturalist, scientist and nature journaler-–loves all things birds and nature. He started drawing as soon as he could hold a crayon, and his interest in birds was realized soon after. That interest has since grown into a passion for birds and the natural world in general. Hobe has learned many of his techniques from the work of master wildlife illustrator and nature journaler John Muir Laws. A passionate naturalist and nature journaler, Hobe loves to notice, wonder, make connections and explore nature through the pages of a journal. He also aims to help others enjoy the natural world by teaching them to observe scientifically through their own journals.
