Celebrate the quiet beauty of late autumn and welcome the coming winter on a gentle, guided nature journaling walk along the Jackson County Greenway — the first fully accessible certified forest therapy trail in the country.
Pre-registration is required for the nature journaling and sketch walk, scheduled for 2-5 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 15, and led by Debby Singleton, Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide and multi-medium fine artist.
The experience combines sensory forest connection with hands-on artistic instruction, offering participants the opportunity to pause during the three-hour walk and reflect on gratitude and seasonal change. Singleton will share approachable tips and lessons on how to capture nature on paper — from simple gesture drawing and quick field sketches to capturing texture, shading, and the shifting light of late fall. Whether picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to refine outdoor sketching style, participants will gain techniques to create expressive records of their observations.
