Artist Nolan Benzing | Calibrate Hardcover Journal

$19.95
When we pause to take inventory — to reflect, adjust, and reset — we create space for real, lasting change. What areas of your life could use a little calibration? Nolan's Calibrate Hardcover Journal is a great place to start: assess what's working, name what isn't, and map out how to get there. Writing it down is the first step toward the most important next step — action. Nolan Benzing is an Iowa-raised conservation specialist, wildlife ecologist, and visual artist whose life has been shaped by a deep, abiding reverence for the natural world — and an unwavering commitment to protecting it. The middle child of a large family that included triplet brothers, Nolan learned early what it means to lead with integrity, show up with accountability, and stand firm in what matters. After earning his degree in Animal and Wildlife Ecology from Iowa State University, Nolan spent years working with landowners, farmers, and ranchers across Iowa and South Dakota to design and implement conservation programs that balanced operational success with meaningful environmental stewardship. For nearly a decade, he has continued that work as a landscape designer, conservation community specialist, and land development field operations manager — a subject matter expert in native prairie restoration, wildlife ecology, and natural ecosystems. But perhaps Nolan's most profound gift lives in his art. Through painting, drawing, and graphic design, he renders the landscapes, wildlife, and creatures he has spent a lifetime protecting — bringing the prairie, the woodland, and the wild into spaces where people can carry a piece of it with them every day. "Goodness is something hard to measure but easy to feel. From the minute I met Nolan, I knew he was a gem." — Kate Shu Each journal features 80 lined, cream-colored pages, a ribbon page marker, built-in elastic closure, and an expandable inner pocket — perfect for everything from nature notes to heartfelt letters. Printed on an UltraHyde hardcover (5.5" × 8.5"), it's as durable as it is beautiful.
