Learn how to get more out of every nature ramble. Developments in neuropsychology have opened doors in our understanding of the brain and cognition and how you can train yourself to see more and to be more curious about what you discover. Naturalist and illustrator John Muir Laws will demonstrate simple and fun techniques you can incorporate into your own recreational nature study or share with others. This is the perfect experience for anyone interested in taking their birding and nature study to the next level.


Naturalist, educator, author and artist John (Jack) Muir Laws teaches the tools to help people develop as naturalists and stewards including: ways to improve your observation, memory and curiosity as well as your knowledge of conservation biology, natural history, scientific illustration and field sketching--all while having fun! Laws is a trained wildlife biologist and a Research Associate of the California Academy of Sciences, who has been a nature education teacher since 1984 in California, Wyoming and Alaska.
