RAIN BARREL WORKSHOP
PLANNED FOR APRIL 21
The Colchester Conservation Commission will host a Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop on Monday, April 21, at Bibbens Ace Hardware, 713 W. Lakeshore Drive, from 5:30-7 p.m.
The cost is $30 and includes all supplies and instructions to make a 55-gallon rain barrel. In addition to constructing a rain barrel to take home, you will learn how capturing rainwater to use in landscapes and gardens will help save money, conserve water and reduce runoff of stormwater into nearby streams and rivers.
The workshop is offered in cooperation with the Colchester Department of Public Works. It will be taught by Laura Dlugolecki, urban conservationist and stormwater specialist with the Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District.
Preregistration is required. Space is limited to 15. Although there is a limit of one barrel per household, families may work on the project together.
Contact Pam Loranger at (802) 865-9234 or by e-mail at zatarahinvt@yahoo.com for more information or to sign-up. Please put "Rain Barrel Workshop Registration" in the subject line if registering by e-mail.
Payment will be collected at the start of the workshop. Please bring cash or check. No credit cards will be accepted.
