7 Ways to Connect with Nature: Digital Download by Kate Rutter

NOTE: Be sure to check out (even if you “purchase” it for free), and then you’ll get TWO emails. The first is an order confirmation. The SECOND email will have the download link.

Created by Kate Rutter, this helpful handout helps you immerse yourself in the pulsing life, luscious artistry, and peaceful stillness of nature. Try a Sit Spot, create a nature journal, read a nature book, help with a restoration project, and more! BONUS: Turn the zine inside out for a helpful 12-month nature connection activity tracker as well as links to online resources to help you connect with nature, including a link to a digital version of this zine.

(BTW: What is a “zine”? It rhymes with “green” and is a mini-magazine!)

Download, print, and fold this zine for yourself AND print copies to share with your students, friends, and nature journaling groups—please share it widely! It is designed to print double-sided on one 8.5 x 11-inch piece of paper.

ALSO: Check out the short video showing how to print, cut, and fold a zine. (Thanks to Brooke Morales for making this helpful video!)

Special thanks to Kate Rutter for creating, illustrating, and sharing this zine as her capstone project for the California Naturalist/UC Environmental Stewards program. This content was inspired by the Golden State Naturalist podcast.
