Being Present in Nature invites participants to slow down and engage deeply with the natural world through observation, creativity, and practical knowledge. Led by Carissa Lovett, Naturalist at Dobbs Park Nature Center, the course explores nature journaling using handmade recycled journals, wildlife tracking beyond hunting contexts, bird identification through visual cues and calls, and plant preservation using a press kit. Trail safety is also addressed, including poisonous plants and venomous animals. Sessions may include outdoor components that encourage mindfulness, curiosity, and environmental stewardship.
