Experience the spirit of the season with a hands-on wreath-making workshop in Eagle River, Wisconsin, a charming small town renowned for its pristine lakes and vibrant outdoor culture. This adults-only event, hosted by Trees For Tomorrow, offers a unique blend of creativity, nature education, and festive fun that transforms simple greenery into stunning holiday décor. Set against the serene backdrop of northern Wisconsin’s forests, participants embark on a journey that begins with learning tree identification, a practical skill that enriches anyone’s understanding of local flora and connects them more deeply with the region’s natural heritage.
The workshop is designed to be both informative and interactive.

Every participant receives a re-usable wreath frame, wire, evergreen clippings, and festive ribbon, ensuring a sustainable approach to holiday decorating. This focus on eco-friendly materials and techniques highlights the importance of sustainability in the Great Lakes region’s outdoor recreation ethos.
Beyond crafting, the experience is enriched by thoughtful touches such as a snack cart featuring hot coffee, tea, and hot chocolate—perfect for warming hands after handling evergreens—and an intimate group atmosphere limited to 30 adults, allowing for personalized attention and a social vibe. Participants can also opt to bring a friend to collaborate on a single wreath, which adds an element of fun and shared accomplishment.
