Happy New Year! The Wild Wonder Team wants to hear from you about your nature journal practice in 2023.

Looking back at your year of nature journaling is a positive practice to remind you of the many nature memories you recorded this year and inspire you to continue to explore nature in 2024! This is NOT a contest of numbers. The purpose of gathering this info is to share back and to celebrate the community. If you did even one journal page, we want to hear about it. (See one example of a Year End Review from journaler Kate Rutter.)

Please complete this survey by February 22, 2024, and we will share the aggregate results back with the community.

Thanks for participating! We can't wait to hear from you.

Notes:

1. For questions that ask for specific numbers below, you can either enter an estimate, or, if you've tallied up your journal entries from the year, you can use the specific number.

2. You can choose to have a copy of your survey response sent to you via email, which is a great summary to start your next year of journaling. In order to do this, you'll need to share your email address AND click the button at the bottom of this survey that says "Send me a copy of my responses." The email address you provide will ONLY be used to send you your survey info; it won't be used in any other way.
