Immerse yourself in nature then record your response in your own way. First time journal writers and experienced scribblers welcome!

On this relaxed course we’ll go for a walk around the reserve, stopping to notice what we can see, hear, smell and feel, taking time to soak up our surroundings. Once back at the centre we’ll have the time to create a memory of our walk-not a masterpiece but an opportunity to record our observations and be creative. Guidance and a range of materials will be provided. However, if you have a journal you would like to start or continue use do bring it along.

Hot and cold drinks and biscuits will be provided. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to eat on the reserve after the workshop.

The event will be lead by BBOWT Learning Officer Julie Read, a keen nature journal maker who enjoys sharing her painting hobby.

We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you or your child are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.

Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
