The Brodhead Watershed Association will host a July 25 webinar on The Big Deal About Rain Barrels starting at 10:00 a.m.

Have you ever wished for a more efficient way to water your garden, keep your car clean and save money all while helping the environment? A rain barrel can do all this and more.

In this online workshop, part of BWA’s Greening Mountainhome Program, Darryl Speicher will talk about this method of collecting rainwater for many uses around the house as well as its pollution prevention abilities.

The first 20 participants from the watershed in Monroe County who pre-register, make a $25 donation to BWA online and attend the webinar get a free rain barrel! Details on where and when to pick up the rain barrel will be provided after the workshop.

Those who do not wish to receive a barrel may attend the webinar for free; preregistration is still required.

Details of how to join the Zoom webinar will be emailed to registrants. Deadline to register is noon July 24.

To register, email your name and, if you are in the watershed, whether you’d like a rain barrel to info@brodheadwatershed.org.   Then, make a $25 donation.
