My Thoughts
This notebook is divided into two sections - one to teach you on how to become more observant and see what the nature can show us and the 5-year calendar journal.
The first portion of the book is composed of six chapters which will help you become more attentive to your surroundings and become an observant naturalist. It will provide you with tips and tricks on how to observe the nature wherever you are and will give you some useful tools to have on hands. One specific chapter provides some ways of learning through the seasons. The first 95 pages will be instructive on how to become an observant naturalist.
Here are some examples of the pages found in the first section of the book.
In conclusion, if you enjoy the outdoors and take the time to stop and observe, you will enjoy having this notebook in your backpack to jolt down your observations.
