This weekly PHENOLOGY JOURNAL was the standout star of our summer/fall vending season. Toby first put this notebook together as a place to record plant, animal, and weather observations in our own yard & garden as well as on our weekly hike in our local wild woods. He thought of it as mostly a vanity project, something that was fun for him whether or not it became a big hit, and was thrilled and surprised when it DID turn out to be a big hit.
Phenology is the practice & science of observing our natural world and of finding our place in it. Writing down observations can be a great way to improve our memory for small details; take closer notice of the minuscule plants, animals, and fungi around us; and compare patterns and trends across years and seasons--especially important now, as formerly-reliable natural rhythms break apart around us.
There are just a few journals from the first printing left on our webstore with the original salvaged mint green covers, but we have plenty of our second printing available, featuring a new extra-heavy, extra-durable cover printed on 111 # cardstock, milled from sustainably forested birch trees. As always, the pages for our hand-bound books are printed on 100% recycled paper. Find them at WolfHillPress.com/shop (scroll down to "books").
And remember... there's no R in phenology!
