If you can’t get outside you can appreciate nature inside your own home by looking at everyday things in a new way. Join John Muir Laws and Fiona Gillogly on a Refrigerator Safari, or spend some time journaling the plants you share your home with. Listen to this podcast, or this one, to hear how there’s so much to appreciate about our houseplants.

Among the many resources on Roseann Hanson's Exploring Overland Field Arts page is a fascinating post about a special form of map - the strip map. These unusual maps are a fun way to capture nature outings using simple diagrams, symbols, and sketches. You can hear more about Roseann's nature journals and journeys on the Journaling with Nature podcast.
