Nature Journaling with Melinda Nakagawa — Week 5: Reptiles

Nature Journaling is far more than knowing how to sketch. It's about reconnecting to nature, observing what lies around us, and deepening our relationship to the natural world through curiosity and wonder. Join virtually as we partner with Spark in Nature's Melinda Nakagawa as she leads us on a journey to opening our eyes to nature around us, while building our own nature journal with museum specimens! Space is limited to 100 guests, so log in early to reserve your spot!

This event series is free and open to all, with suggested donations to support PGMNH and Spark in Nature, in our shared mission to inspire discovery, wonder, and stewardship of our natural world.

All levels of experience are welcome. Just bring a journal/paper, a pencil, and your curiosity!

Optional: your favorite color media, colored pencils or watercolor.


Melinda Nakagawa is a local biologist, naturalist, and educator with a passion for connecting people to nature. A natural teacher with a warm approach, she guides nature journaling students to see more in nature, draw what they see, and spark their curiosity and wonder. Melinda teaches virtual nature journaling classes for all levels and leads the Monterey Bay Nature Journal Club weekly virtual meetings on Sunday mornings.
