PUBLISHED! The Essential Nature Journal
Aleta Karstad
We’ve had private access to the beta edition for a decade, but the new softcover edition is now complete with biographies of naturalists past and present who learned through nature journaling in their youth. This inspiring guide for young citizen scientists can also be used as a handbook/companion to our 7-ring binder kit, theNatureJournal.

A nature journal is the perfect companion for a hike in the woods, a day on the beach, or nature-watching through your bedroom window.
The Essential Nature Journal starts you on a life-long journey of discovery. Become an amateur naturalist by learning how to describe a habitat, the most important things to note in every observation, and how anyone can contribute to science.
The step-by-step guide is simple but serious, starting the nature-loving child on a life-lomg journey of discovery. Illustrated with lively line drawings by Aleta, you have in hand a step-by-step guide beginning with the question “what is a naturalist?”, and going on to a simple explanation of hypothesis-testing in the few pages on “How Science Works.” The budding naturalist is encouraged to find mentors who share their passion, and to prove for themselves that anyone can make useful contributions to knowledge.
Although it was originally intended as a children’s prequel to an in-depth handbook for adults, this little book is inspiring and informing parents and teachers as well.
Let me know what you think of it,
Aleta
