Rain Barrels 101

Wed, 30 May, 2012 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Presented by Katie Register, Clean Virginia Waterways
Learn how to install and maintain an eco-friendly rain barrel, and find out how you can play a part in water conservation and water quality protection. Rain barrels capture roof runoff, providing water for your gardens or lawn, and they help control storm water runoff, which causes erosion and degrades our streams. You will leave the workshop with a pre-made rain barrel (holds approximately 55 gallons) made from a heavy plastic, recycled pickle barrel. Clean Virginia Waterways is a nonprofit, statewide environmental organization affiliated with Longwood University. Be prepared with a vehicle large enough to take your rain barrel home that day. (Maymont is not able to store it for future pick-up).
