&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature. &amp;nbsp;In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us. &amp;nbsp;Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand. &amp;nbsp;Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
