It might seem obvious, but it's important to ask ourselves these sorts of questions when starting a new activity. What do I want to create and what do I want to gain from the process of creating? In this video, I go over the history of nature journaling, previous published definitions, and share my definition of what nature journaling is and what a nature journal is.
