Every environmental educator should have Claire Walker Leslie and Charles E. Roth’s classic book on nature journaling on their shelves. It is a visually stunning book which guides environmental educators in closer observations of nature throughout the seasons. One of my favorite drawings is a deciduous tree drawn in the winter with a closer look at a stem with a winter bud and a mature fruit. It reminds us that observations can be done any time of the year. This book would be great paired with citizen science bud burst studies. Pencil drawings and water color paintings are included, with little notes for more detail about what was drawn. Drawings include the date, time, measurements and labels which bring the reader into the drawings. This book has been used in Elementary Science Methods classes to teach the basics of observation skills but can also be used in art, biology, ecology, and writing classes to note the fine detail found in nature. A curriculum web for nature journaling near the end of the book shows the variety of ways to include this topic in teaching across the curriculum.
