School Holiday Beachcomb and Nature Journalling
This event is delivered by Perth NRM's Adopt A Beach Program, funded by Coastwest and supported by City of Cockburn.
📍Location: Near the playground at Coogee Beach, Powell Road.
Come along for a beachcomb and transform your finds and discoveries into a nature journal page these school holidays. This beginner-friendly workshop for kids will encourage them to create outside and discover more about the environment in a fun, engaging way. They will learn what nature journalling is, go for a beachcomb and find out how to make their own amazing pages full of drawings, notes, questions and more!
Ages: 8+ recommended
Tickets: $5 (+booking fee) per child. Accompanying and non-participating adults free. Tickets limited, book using the Humanitix link now to secure a spot!
Perth Nature Journal Club Meetup
✍🏼What to expect: Bird-watching (eBird list) and nature journalling as part of the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. There is a 1.3 km loop around the bird sanctuary that we can walk while doing a bird count and nature journal what we find. Kim will demonstrate the basics and share her journal and techniques or you can focus on personal journalling time. At the end you can share your page and learn from others.
All skill levels are welcome. Children must be supervised at all times. Please register below if you plan to attend.
📖What to bring: A journal and your favourite mark-making tools. Some good walking shoes, a water bottle and optional snack, binoculars and insect repellent. Remember to slip-slop-slap-wrap if the sun's out, or an umbrella/raincoat if there's a chance of rain.
Cost: This is a pay-what-you-feel event. The suggested donation is $10/per individual and $20/per family, but it is up to you. Your support goes towards costs of running the nature journal club and is very much appreciated.
📍Location: Meet at the north-western end carpark for the Sanctuary. Other carparks are available on Memorial Drive.
