Northern Rockies nature Journaling Statement of Community Values and Expectations of Conduct

Northern Rockies Nature Journaling is committed to inclusivity, respect, and equal opportunity for everyone as we nurture and celebrate a diverse, global community of nature journalers.

All Northern Rockies nature Journaling events and gatherings include expectations of conduct based on this community culture of inclusivity, respect, kindness, and a growth mindset. We nurture a safe, welcoming, joyful, and fun community for all, and so we foster and promote an environment where all interactions allow every community member to feel welcome, safe, and heard. 

This means that as a community, we will not tolerate the following behavior in any community platform, gathering, event, or forum (including in-person and online): 

• Insults or threats

• Racist or sexist comments or content

• Hate speech

• Sexually explicit comments or content

• Defamatory comments or content involving race, culture, political views, identification / orientation

• Language that is considered socially offensive due to being vulgar or obscene

• Other problematic behaviors or comments

The Northern Rockies Nature Journaling team reserves the right to ask members to leave our community (including forums, classes, and events—online or in person) for violating our community values. In most instances, we will first communicate with a written warning, but in extreme cases we will ask members to leave immediately and they will be unable to participate in community events in the future.

We appreciate and value this creative and global community. Thank you for doing your part to keep it safe and kind for everyone.
