Learn About Nature Journaling in Upcoming Workshop at Honey Springs Battlefield
CHECOTAH, Okla. — On Saturday, March 15, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, artist Jim Mullenax of Rocky Pond Pen and Ink will visit Honey Springs Battlefield to teach the importance of making a nature journal.
The class will help teach you how to be inquisitive about the world around you by making simple sketches in a journal, which can become a satisfying practice. The class will spark creativity by prompting questions like, “What do I notice?” or “What do I wonder?”
This family-friendly workshop is free with the regular admission cost. After the program, guests can check out the exhibits and film in the visitor center. The site also has six walking trails with interpretive signs.
