Join TTL for a viewing party of the seventh annual online Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference! We'll provide nature journals, pencils, and snacks. No previous experience is necessary, but if you are new to nature journaling, you may want to review the basics: John Muir Laws Get Started with Nature Journaling

Nature journaling is a great way to build observational skills, connect with the natural beauty around us, and enjoy making images, words, and numbers in the company of community. All faculty, staff, and students are invited!

Session description

Join Roland Allen, author of The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper, for an engaging history of naturalists' notebooks, including the arrival of the notebook in Europe (ca.1300), how and why the naturalist’s notebook came to supercede the medieval ‘Herbal’ manuscripts, and notable naturalists and their relationship to notebooks such as Gessner, Linnaeus, and Darwin.
