- Meet the woman who coined the term "nature journaling" and went on to become one of the most influential and inspiring nature journaling leaders - Clare Walker Leslie!!!
One of John Muir Laws' most important mentors and influences, Clare Walker Leslie’s book "Nature Drawing: A Tool for Learning" started him on his path to nature journaling when he was a kid. Clare has been teaching nature journaling for more than 40 years, writing 13 books in the process. She is a wise and inspiring teacher with lessons for our journals and lives.

This conversation is so lovely and to Claire Walker Leslie, I am deeply sorry for your loss ~~~ I do hope that you will write/illustrate a book someday about grief - It was grief that started me on the nature journaling/drawing/painting journey as my father was sick and then dying and mother with ALZ - A book from you on this journey of nature I’m sure would be a beautiful, honest creation that I would be certain to hold closely - Thank you, Jack, for this opportunity to hear the 2 of you talk !
This is so interesting, thank you. In the UK, 'The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady' (nature journal for 1906 kept by Edith Holden) was very popular in the 1970s and 80s.
I, too, first discovered nature journaling through one of CWL’s books. The one that I have is a beautiful and colorful guide with lots of her journal pages shown for examples. It’s Keeping a Nature Journal, second edition. Love it! I also have been inspired by all that Jack does, and gives, and is for this community.
Thank you both, I have shared your tutorials with co workers and family. I hope that they will become more nature aware.
Oooh, my favorite nature journalist teacher!! Clare Walker Leslie's books were so important in my artistic life!!!!

Loved this conversation. Thank you. You are both making a giant difference. Even in Florida where we are loosing so many natural spaces to development we still must keep a positive outlook to keep going.❤
