Virtual Rain Barrel Workshop

Join us for this FREE webinar on rain barrels, and what you can do to better manage stormwater at home! Rain barrels store rain to be released in drier weather, helping our creeks by decreasing the impact of pollution and reducing demand on our stormwater system. Barrels also save you money because you’ll use less tap water. Use stored water for gardens and lawns, or to wash your patio furniture and cars. Learn more about rain barrels at this workshop, including tips about installation. This webinar will take place on Zoom.
