All ages are welcome!

Enjoy a fun-filled day blending nature exploration with creative art.
While we wander the boardwalk and meadow trails of Battle Creek Cypress Swamp, we will take time to observe and sketch the wonders around us. Along the way, we’ll pause to draw whatever captures our attention—turtles basking in the sun, darting dragonflies, whirligig beetles swirling on the water’s surface, or even the iconic cypress “knees” rising from the swamp.

We’ll also gather a few natural materials during our walk to incorporate into a unique craft, adding a personal touch to your nature journal. It’s the perfect day for artists, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to slow down and connect with the outdoor world through creativity.
