Join us for a fun and engaging 2-hour Nature Journaling workshop for adults of all experience levels presented and led by nature educator, Billie Jo Reid from Pine & Ponder Outdoors. 

Registration is required to take part. 

Attendees will meet at the Orangeville Public Library on Mill Street and then walk together to Mill Creek Park.
