  • Monthly Nature Journaling Sessions with Tanya Scharaschkin

    • 29 Nov 2024
    • 30 May 2025
    • 7 sessions
    • Collinsvale Reserve, 10 Hall Rd, Collinsvale, TAS 7012

    Join Friends of Collinsvale each month for a Nature Journaling session.

    Your guide will be local botanist and artist Dr Tanya Scharaschkin. Tanya will introduce you to nature journaling and will guide you along the way. You don't need to have any drawing skills. This is an opportunity to spend some quiet time observing and documenting nature.

    What to bring: Bring something to write on (e.g., a notebook, journal or artist sketch pad) and something to write with (e.g., pen, pencil, marker, coloured pencils). A clipboard can be handy. You might want to bring a picnic blanket or camp chair to sit on. Feel free to bring a snack and a drink with you (there are no shops in Collinsvale). Toilets are located at the Hall.

    Safety: Please dress appropriately for the weather (it could be wet and windy, or hot and sunny). Fingerless gloves could be useful if cold. Bring a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent. The walking track and ground around the Landcare container is uneven. Please wear good walking shoes.

    Directions: Meet at the "Landcare Container" opposite the Dog Park. Drive up Hall Road, and continue to drive past the Collinsvale Memorial Hall, the Fire Station and the Machinery Club. The "Landcare Container" will be on your right, up a small slope. We will start at 10 and finish at 11:30am.
