We had the pleasure of joining Billie Jo Reid from Pine and Ponder for a free library activity, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.
Billie Jo is a truly gifted educator—she communicates with such passion, clarity, and kindness. Her encouraging and reassuring nature made everyone feel welcome and confident to participate, no matter their experience level.
Billie Jo’s charismatic personality shines through in everything she does. She has a unique ability to connect people with the natural world in meaningful and accessible ways. Whether it was exploring, observing, or learning through hands-on activities, she made every moment feel inspiring and important.
This was so much more than just an outdoor workshop—it was a reminder of how powerful connection to nature and family can be. We are so thankful for the experience and can’t recommend Billie Jo and Pine and Ponder enough.
