The Oregon State University Extension Service and Woman Owning Woodlands Network in Douglas County are holding a virtual wreath making workshop on Thursday.

The event will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.

It will provide participants with a live tutorial demonstrating how to make wreaths and garlands from greenery and other non-timber forest products sourced from local forests. Instructors will teach about how to identify commonly used native forest trees. They will also show how bough collection can be done in a sustainable manner so landowners can continue to make wreaths each year and possibly even sell some for a little extra income.

The workshop is offered statewide. To register, go to: https://beav.es/UkF, or call OSU Extension in Douglas County at 672-4461.
