Branching Out: Nature journalling and guided walk

Join Rainer Rehwinkel and Julia Landford for a free expert guided walk through Stromlo Woodland.

Rainer will help us discover what makes Stromlo Woodland ecologically special — its remarkable plants, animals and landscape. Julia will guide us into nature journalling, exploring how to slow down, look closely, and connect deeply with place. Together they bring ecology, art and conservation into a single unhurried morning.

WHAT TO BRING/WEAR

• Wear long pants, enclosed shoes, and a hat

• Sunscreen, water, snacks

• Binoculars (optional)

• Your choice of visual art diary, and if you have them, a pencil case with pens, pencils and watercolours — anything you'd like to draw or paint with!

MEETING LOCATION

Meeting location will be provided to registered participants prior to the event.
