The Friends of the Winooski River are holding a build your own rain barrel workshop on: June 1 at 6:00 at the Monitor Barn in Richmond.
Rain barrels capture water that runs off your roof and into the nearest storm drain. Capturing that water to reuse on lawns, trees, shrubs and flowerbeds to reduce pollution in the local streams, helps prevent flooding, and save money on water bills!
There will be a 'build your own barrel' demonstration along with discussion about other ways you can control stormwater on your property.
Advanced registration by May 28th is required to build a barrel.
The cost is $30 and space is limited. All materials and tools will be provided.
The talk and barrel building demo only is free and open on a walk-in basis.
Register by calling 882-8276 or emailing info@winooskiriver.org
Funding for this event is provided by the Lake Champlain Basin Program.
