What We Touch - Sketch

Graphic representing the sense "touch". A hand.

An image of different plant identification.

Take a break during your hike. Find a place where you can more thoroughly examine your surroundings. Using your notebook, find an element of the natural area that is texturally interesting to you and make a sketching or rubbing that accurately captures the textures and feelings of that area. This could be a tree, grouping of rocks, or plants. Be sure to view and identify what plants are safe to touch as well as what to know about leaving habitats undisturbed.
