Naturalist, John Muir used his journals to record detailed sketches and information about the plants, animals, and landscapes he observed on his daily treks. Muir’s journals provided him with a wealth of recorded experiences from which ten books and over two hundred articles were published. Today, we continue to be inspired from Muir’s daily writings.
Creating a nature journal provides you with an opportunity to study and develop a greater awareness of your surroundings. Below is an example of my observations on just one day in the Great Swamp.
