Big Year of Bugs: Speaker Series
January–March | Silverwood
Twice each month, hear from entomology experts, participate in a Q&A, and grab a beverage from the Silverwood Cafe.
It’s one of those late-season muggy days outside, and through the hazy sunshine there is a hesitation of rain. My students and I have just finished stitching together our nature journals and we wander out to the teaching garden at Silverwood to find a spot to sit and journal.
I tell them to pick one flower, one plant, one tree, any one piece of nature and sit with it for at least 10 minutes to draw and write as much detail as they can. I encourage them to ask questions, take notes, sketch shapes and textures, and record any detail they notice in this experience.
