Nature Journaling @ Twin Lakes Meadow
Mar 16 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Join Master Naturalist Paula Purnell, WLT’s Coordinator of Education Programs, for eight sessions of natural journaling — writing one’s observations of nature — to chronicle the seasonal changes from March through June at the meadow at Twin Lakes Park east of Greensburg.
