She argues this analog practice, from the Stone Age to today, is crucial for connecting people to science and nature conservation and personal well-being in our digital age. With 40 years of experience, Hanson is an acclaimed author (*Nature Journaling for a Wild Life*) and co-organizer of the Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference.
