Friends - I’m so excited about this one! February is officially our Foraging Journaling Challenge Month, and it’s designed to be: ✔️ Fun ✔️ Zero-pressure ✔️ Beginner-friendly ✔️ Perfect for messy notebooks and curious brains Whether you’re journaling about plants, mushrooms, weather, birds, lichens, animal tracks, moon phases, or whatever catches your eye - it all counts. 💚 How to participate (choose ONE each time): 1️⃣ Post a photo of what you journaled about (the plant, mushroom, sky, frost patterns, etc.) 2️⃣ Post a photo of your journal page (pretty or messy - both welcome) 3️⃣ Share what you discovered while journaling or researching That’s it. No deadlines. No perfection. Just noticing things and sharing the joy of curiosity together. 📚 Also - new journaling course now live! I just added a brand new Foraging & Nature Journaling course in the Classroom tab, and it walks you step-by-step through: • The benefits of journaling • How to choose your journal and layout • How to build a joyful, sustainable journaling habit This course is free, short and open to everyone so check it out!🌱 Let’s flood this space with moss, mushrooms, winter buds, muddy boots, half-finished sketches, weird questions, and tiny discoveries. Who’s in? 🙋‍♀️📖🍃

If you've got pines or junipers, you can do this 😁👍🌲

Hey Eco-Punks! Ready to get your hands dirty (in the best possible way)? 🌾 TOMORROW, November 1st, we’re kicking off the “Seeds & Spores Challenge” - a month-long, hands-on adventure inspired by our new course “Seeds & Spores” (located under the "classroom" tab) I'll be on for a live video chat tomorrow evening (located under the "calendar" tab) YOUR MISSION: 👉 Choose ONE project to dive into this month - and share your progress with the group as you go! You can pick from: 1. Foraging & Saving Seeds: Harvest and save wild seeds for future planting. Learn to recognize, collect, and store them like a pro. Share photos in the group of what you forage and how you are storing them. 2. Indoor Micro-Garden: Grow your own food from seed indoors with sprouts or microgreens! Try sprouting seeds in a jar or growing microgreens on your windowsill. Share progress pictures in the group of your seeds sprouting and how you are using them. 3. Crafting with Seeds: Get creative with nature - make spore print art, a seed mosaic, or a shadowbox seed collection. Share photos in the group of your work-in-progress - not just the finished piece. 📸 Share your progress pictures in the group each week - show off your finds, your sprouts, your art, your experiments! This isn’t about perfection - it’s about connection. Every post inspires someone else to try, learn, and look closer at the natural world. By the end of the month, you’ll have something beautiful, edible, or useful - and a deeper appreciation for the tiny powerhouses that make life possible. Let’s fill November with curiosity, creativity, and community.
