Cartography 101: Adding maps to your nature journals (Free Field Arts Workshop)

Let’s explore cartography for your nature journals and field sketchbooks. Adding maps is fun and although they can be challenging and even intimidating, they will greatly enhance not only your journals but your understanding of a place.

  • Traditional maps with features such as contours and shading to show relief

  • Linear maps that unfold or scroll from point-to-point on an exploration of a place or region

  • Picture-highlight maps of a place, including non-scale ideas for quick mapping

  • Behavior maps depicting such things as an animal foraging or defending a territory

This is going to be fun!

If you’re shy, don’t worry—we don’t require anyone to share their work and you can remain completely anonymous and worry-free!
