On Saturday, September 14, ACA members convened at Karst Farm Park Shelter #6 in Bloomington, IN for a 4-hour Nature Journaling workshop led by Bailey Russell, a recent intern with the Brown County Soil and Water Conservation District.
After a brief educational talk by Marilyn Bauchat of the Uplands Network of the Hoosier Chapter of Sierra Club, participants walked to a wooded pond in the park and did several exercises in observing and putting on paper what we saw. The weather was hot, so at noon we hiked back to the cool shelter house for lunch and then ventured out again.
The highlight, quite literally, was a barred owl who perched above us, unperturbed, for the entire four hours!
