Here is a list of journal prompts I use to make my nature journal extra interesting.

Nature Journal 11-14-93 by Donna Long

Nature journal page ©Donna Long

These nature journal prompts can be used as ideas for a few pages, a section or a whole notebook.

These ideas can be used for a day, a month or many years.

The topics can be used to inspire study topics, essays, drawings or taking photographs.

First choose a place to visit again and again. It can be as close as your backyard or a special park or refugee a distance away.

Then choose a theme to guide your nature study and to give focus.


Ideas

Use an observation checklist to answer basic questions

Chose a place


Choose a theme

Create your own nature almanac

Indulge your list-making desires

Do a nature activity and then write, where you went, what you did and what you learned

Take a nature walk and describe what you see

Read about local animals and be inspired to draw, photograph or write about them


Hopefully, this list of ideas helps to get your creative juices flowing. Brainstorming ideas has certainly given me fresh new ways to look at my nature journal.
