ERICD's Bristol Rain Barrel Workshop

Posted

Join the Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District (ERICD) to learn how to prep a rain barrel, with all the materials and step by step guidance provided within the workshop. At the end of the workshop take home a ready-to-install rain barrel and installation kit, which will collect and store stormwater for your garden. Containers generously provided by Coca-Cola. For conservation and for pollution prevention, installing a rain barrel to collect and store rainwater for use on your lawn and gardens is a simple but powerful way to make a difference for the Aquidneck Island and Narragansett Bay. Volunteers also needed for all workshop dates.
