On today’s episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Kathy Settevendemie, Treasurer and Secretary of Northern Rockies Nature Journal, as well as a dedicated Native Plant Specialist. With a rich background as a Montana native plant grower, past president of the Montana Native Plant Society, and former high school art teacher, Kathy brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the world of nature journaling. As a teacher, consultant, and artist, Kathy's work at Northern Rockies Nature Journal is all about creating educational opportunities that connect people to the natural world through journaling, fostering a deeper sense of stewardship and community. Join us as she shares her journey and insights on how nature journaling brings people closer to both the outdoors and each other.

Wild Wisdom Takeaways:

1. Get outside and start small – Nature is accessible no matter where you live. Begin with simple observations like an ant crawling or the clouds shifting. Whether you draw or write, the act of journaling will help you connect to the world around you.
2. Create a practice of seasonal mindfulness – Like Kathy's botanical journaling, observing and recording seasonal changes—flowers blooming, weather shifts, or animal behaviors—can ground you in the rhythms of the natural world.
3. Join a nature journaling group – Sharing your work with others fosters community and can lead to new insights and inspiration. Whether you join a local group or connect online, learning alongside others enriches your experience of nature.
