Oregon State University Extension Service and the Women Owning Woodlands Network of Douglas County are inviting women woodland owners to a workshop where they can learn to make wreaths using greenery from local woodlands.

An extension release said the Wreath Making with Non-Timber Forest Products workshop will be held on Thursday November 21st from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Douglas Timber Operators Pavilion at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

Participants can create with local women at this hands-on workshop. Attendees will learn how to identify, harvest and use native forest materials to make wreaths. They will take their own wreath home with them, just in time for the holidays.

Before attending the class, participants should walk their property and collect greenery, cones, and berries to bring to the workshop. Extra decorations along with small pruners, cutters, gloves and scissors should be brought to the event. Some greenery, decorations, and tools will be available to share.

The cost to attend is $20 per person. Registration closes on November 19th, so go online to register as this class fills up fast: https://beav/es/GUi.
