From the day it was released in 2000, Keeping a Nature Journal has struck a profound chord among professional, casual, and occasional naturalists of all ages. In response to this groundswell of enthusiasm, we have revised Keeping A Nature Journal, updated the interior design, and created a new cover. Undoubtedly the most exciting new element in this second edition is a portfolio of 32 illustrated pages from Clare Walker Leslie's most recent journals, reproduced in full color. What makes Keeping A Nature Journalso popular? It is inspiring and easy to use. Clare and co-author Charles Chuck E. Roth offer simple techniques to give first-time journal-keepers the confidence to go outside, observe the natural world, and sketch and write about what they see. At the same time, they motivate long-time journal-keepers to hone their powers of observation as they immerse themselves in the mysteries of the natural world. Clare and Chuck stress that the journal is a personal record of daily experience and the world around us. Nature's beauty can be observed everywhere, whether in the city, suburbs, or country. 

You can experience a spirited yet tranquil exploration of the living World by creating your own Nature journal. In any season or weather, and any place, Nature journaling compels us to slow down, observe, reflect, and once again connect to the living mosaic that is our natural environment.
Clare Walker Leslie and Chuck Roth have develop a methodical system throughout their years of experienceing and observing the natural world.

Keeping a Nature Journalwill help you create your own art, as you see nature with your own eyes and interpret its images as you sketch and draw its shapes and colors.

Simple methods for capturing what you see in schetches and your own words will inspire you to make journaling a part of your daily life, enjoying it for year to come.
