It’s the perfect time of year to consider incorporating the use of a rain barrel for lawn and landscaping needs. The Chittenden County Stream Team is kicking off the Connecting the Drops stormwater outreach campaign this summer in Essex Junction by hosting a workshop to build your own rain barrel. This workshop is meant for individuals interested in saving water and reducing stormwater runoff, which can carry pollutants to our streams and Lake Champlain. The water you save in a rain barrel can be used for watering lawns and flower gardens, washing your car or tools. Save water, save money, and save our streams all at the same time! In the workshop you will learn how to properly maintain and install a rain barrel and take home your own barrel.

What: Rain Barrel Workshop
When: Saturday June 14th at 9am
Where: Maple Street Park, Essex Junction
Cost: $30
