This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Slow down and observe the beauty of Big Ridge State Park through nature journaling. Join Seasonal Ranger Crow at the historic Grist Mill to practice recording your outdoor observations with words, sketches, and curiosity. We’ll explore nearby trails and the creek area, pausing to reflect on what we see, hear, and feel. Paper and pencils will be provided, but feel free to bring your own journal.
This program is open to all ages and beginner-friendly—no drawing experience needed! All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear closed-toe shoes and dress for the weather. Bring water, sunscreen, and bug spray as needed. The area around the Grist Mill includes uneven terrain and shallow water.
