How Nature Journaling Can Change Your Life

I'm Alex Boon and I make nature journals. This is my story of how I went from an anxious academic trapped indoors to a nature journaling adventurer and educator! I hope I can inspire you to pick up and pencil and get outside too.

☆ HOW TO START A NATURE JOURNAL ☆

Do you want to learn how to start a nature journal? My "How to Start a Nature Journal" course explains the basics of my preferred two-journal method, techniques for drawing, writing, and identifying, and a load of prompts and tips to form a reliable nature journaling habit.
