Nature journaling is a wonderful way to connect with the natural world around you and express your inner creativity, with no previous art experience required.

Join us for free nature journaling meet ups in the field at various locations around the Hunter region, on the 4th Sunday of each month, meeting at 9:30am.

We are a group of people of all ages and abilities who love nature, and enjoy drawing and painting, creating a nature journal of our adventures. We aim to create a social atmosphere of fun and creativity, bringing nature, art, and our community together.

Did you see us at the Lake Macquarie Living Smart Festival Saturday 24th September? We had the joy of presenting in the Nature Zone! And a radio interview with ABC Newcastle (listen @ 3:16:00 on the time scale).

The Art of Nature Journaling exhibition and accompanied workshops were held at the Hunter Wetlands Centre during the month of February 2022. With over 3,000 visitors to the exhibition and 30 participants in our workshops, we hope many others were inspired to take up nature journaling in their backyard, on holidays, or in their local reserve or national park.
