Nature Journaling, in the sense of the fantastic educator John Muir Laws’ journaling and education methods (see https://johnmuirlaws.com/) is a superb tool to develop important scientific, art, and life skills among undergraduates (and others too, of course).  Such skills include learning how to see, notice, and observe, how to ask open-ended and novel questions about what you see, to create a stronger sense of place, and how to synthesize that information into connected relationships between experiences, facts, observations, and memories.  The integration of words, visuals, and numbers (quantitative data) is also important.  In our recently developed nature journaling classes at Rutgers University where we have developed a college-level curriculum that is open to majors in any field, including students that have none to a lot of experience in art and/or science, and addresses many aspects of exploring and discovering everyday nature and biodiversity.  Assignments can be tweaked to be plant-focused, and includes such as The Sit Spot, Zoom-in & Zoom-out, Modularity in Nature, String Safari, Fear of Nature, Mapping and Slicing Landscapes, Human Detritus, Natural History Collections, and Change over Time (many of these where invented by other educators; we provide descriptions in our outreach materials). Our assignments and topics are easily adapted as one-time assignments in plant science or other biological courses, which we also have implemented in botanical diversity and a study abroad course in tropical biology.  Nature journaling is not about doing fine art, quite the opposite, and it is about developing skills in observation, thinking, and creating conclusions that go a step further.  It has also turned out to be an excellent method to slow down high-paced lives, create meditative moments, and flow as part of creativity.  We will discuss how to implement nature journaling in your class, present our curriculum for whole classes, and provide examples of one-time course assignments.  Free teaching materials associated with nature journaling will be available for download on BotanyDepot.com at the time of the conference, we also strongly encourage you to visit John Muir Laws excellent website with additional resources (see link above).
