Make & Take Rain Barrel Workshop - Just $35!
ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River
Please visit the new page to apply.
What's one of the simplest, high-impact ways to s ave water and help protect our local watersheds? Using a rain barrel. Thanks to Coca-Cola Refreshments of Eagan, Friends of the Mississippi River has 30 used syrup containers for participants to turn into rain barrels on Thursday, May 25th, from 6:00-7:30 PM. During the course of this workshop, participants will be provided with the necessary parts ($35 per kit) and guided through the process of converting these containers into allies for a cleaner Minnesota. Taking place at Wood Lake Nature Center, the workshop will begin with a presentation on how home lawn and garden practices impact our waters and how we can make a difference. Next, we’ll discuss the watershed-friendly benefits of rain barrels in more detail, then review how to build, incorporate, install and maintain them. With guidance from FMR staff, participants will then build a rain barrel to take home.
All are welcome! Capacity is limited and registration is required by May 22nd. For more information, including registration information, visit us at http://fmr.org/events/2017/05/25/make-take-rain-barrel-workshop-just-35
