Our next Rain Barrel Workshop is scheduled for Sunday, May 7, at 10 a.m. The workshop will be held at ACUA's Environmental Park located at 6700 Delilah Road in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
Participants of Rain Barrel Workshops get to build their own rain barrel to bring home and learn how rain barrels conserve water and protect the environment.
The cost is $30. (Includes your 55-gallon rain barrel and the supplies needed)
The workshop is in partnership with the AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors Program.
This class has filled. Please stay tuned for our next workshop!
When it rains, stormwater picks up toxic chemicals like fertilizer, pesticides, oils and more on hard surfaces and landscapes. This water flows directly into streams, groundwater and contaminates the environment. Rain barrels are a great way to reduce stormwater runoff at your home. They catch and store stormwater runoff from your roof. The water can be used for gardening and will help you decrease your water bill.
