A Year of Nature Journaling Prompts

Daily Nature Journaling Prompts

Let's celebrate nature and put in some “pencil miles”!* Each day this year, create a page in your nature journal based on that day’s prompt. Scroll down for links to more resources for this month’s prompts.

BONUS: Join this month’s host, nature journaler Akshay Mahajan, for a FREE live class, Journaling Into Growth on 11/22 at 10am Pacific!

We can’t wait to see your work! Share it with us by tagging us @wildwonderfoundation using #naturejournalingnovember and we’ll share with the community! Tag a friend in your post to invite them to join in the fun!

PS: Looking for prompts from a prior month? Pop to the ARCHIVE at the bottom of this page!

* “Drawing is not a gift—it is a skill. You can learn to draw. You just have to put in the pencil miles.”
