Getting Started

Wondering what's in a Nurture Journal? Each page is designed to help you get the most out of your time using the five senses to interact with nature. Let us show you how easy it is to fill out.

The first five entries on each page ask you to use your senses to observe and interact with nature.

The next entry asks you to pick one thing you appreciate about your environment. For example, you might appreciate the warm sunshine or the cheerful color of a flower.

The last section is different each day. It will give you ideas for interacting with nature in lots of different ways. You might be asked to find some water and look for reflections in it or to listen for birdsong.

Here's what your page might look like after you've filled it out:

Here's a prompt you can use today while you're waiting for your new Nature Journal to arrive.

Think of up to three different places you can be around nature this week. A park, backyard, or quiet area of campus were there is a tree are all great choices. Spend 5 minutes there, focusing on what you can smell and hear.
