In January, the Wild Wonder Foundation kicked off a year of nature journal prompts to celebrate nature and motivate pencil miles. Each month has a theme and a host, and it’s a great way to stay engaged and inspired with nature journaling.

So I’m super excited to announce that I’m co-hosting the #ArborApril month-long sketching challenge, along with Cathy Raingarden, urban sketcher, tree lover, and friend!

This hybrid challenge spans Urban Sketching and Nature Journaling practices and is focused on drawing and journaling the trees in our lives. All prompts and tips are posted at www.wildwonder.org/nj25: (psst, there’s also a free online workshop to kick off the challenge, so hop over and register!)

During the month posts & prompts will be on online at Instagram, Wonderland, Substack & Bluesky.

Please join the challenge, and post your work on the socials with the #ArborApril and #ArborApril2025 hashtags. We can’t wait to see what you create!
