Last Thursday, the Coastside Land Trust hosted its second Nature Journaling Teacher Workshop of the year at Farallone View Elementary School. Guided by the talented Elexis Pardon, a group of dedicated teachers explored the transformative power of nature journaling, honing their observation skills and deepening their connection to the natural world.
The workshop took place in the school’s student garden—an area funded by the PTO and filled with vibrant artichokes, colorful nasturtiums, and an array of plants lovingly tended by the students. Teachers practiced specific observation techniques, using their senses to engage with the environment around them. The session also provided an opportunity for educators to connect with the collective wisdom of the Junior Land Stewards Program, exchanging insights with teachers and managers who are passionate about integrating nature into education.
Also, nobody had any fun- as you can see from Haley Peterson’s face here…
