VIRTUAL Sheep and Wool Workshop

We are excited to offer a virtual sheep and wool workshop in the spring of 2026, followed by a virtual field trip to Krebs Sheep Company. Join us as we explore the importance of sheep, the wool industry, and the history of fibers in Oregon. Attendees will hear from guest speakers in the industry and learn about Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom materials that highlight the importance of this FIBER. Plus, attendees will receive free classroom materials. Attendees are encouraged to pair this professional development opportunity with the engaging sheep and wool virtual field trip taking place on April 2nd.
