We’re working with our friends at Sugarfield to turn local wool into habitat restoration tools! This workshop will be the first step in that process, where attendees will hand-card wool that we will turn into mats. These wool mats will help regulate moisture and keep weeds down around our desired coastal prairie plants—like the Early Blue Violet, the host plant of the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly!
Gather at Sugarfield at 2pm on Sunday, December 6th, where we will give an introduction to the space and the project, share a meal of soup and sides, then settle in to card wool—basically freeing it from matting/knots/tangles—while we watch documentaries about regenerative agriculture and coastal prairie restoration. The event will last until around 5:30pm, and we hope to card as much wool as we can!
Feel free to bring a dish to share, but it is not required. Please do not bring pets or alcohol. Soup and bread/chips, as well as wool, instruction, and fun will be provided. Space is limited, so sign up now!
This event is FREE, but donations are accepted and appreciated.
