Thinking Like a Naturalist: Reclaiming the Art of Natural History

The Gardens at Heather Farm and City of Walnut Creek Clean Water Program presents an exciting speaker series called “Discovering a Sense of Place”.  A line up of local naturalists will be sharing their expertise to guide participants in discovering the breathtaking area we live in, known as the Diablo Range.  This unique series promises to be a transformational experience for anyone interested in delving deeper into local natural history- from the foothills of Mt. Diablo to one’s own backyard!  Learn how to get more out of every nature ramble.  Developments in neuropsychology have opened doors in our own understanding of the brain and cognition and how you can actually train yourself to see more and to inspire more curiosity about what you discover.  Naturalist John Muir Laws will demonstrate simple and fun techniques you can incorporate into your own recreational nature study. All programs are FREE but require registration by phone at (925)947-1678.  Doors open at 6:30
