Darke Soil & Water Conservation
Darke SWCD
Hosting Rain Barrel Workshop
The Darke Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) will be hosting a
Rain Barrel Workshop on Wednesday, April 6th at 6:30pm at Shawnee
Prairie Preserve (4267 State Route 502 West). A rain barrel is a
rain water collection system that stores rooftop runoff to be used
later for activities such as lawn and garden watering, car washing or
even window cleaning. Rain barrels are connected to your
downspout and are a great way to positively impact the environment.
“Darke SWCD is excited to be hosting this workshop. Promoting the
use of rain barrels can help Darke County residents lower their water
bill while positively impacting the environment,” stated Jared Coppess,
District Administrator for Darke SWCD. “If you’ve ever been
curious about rain barrels, either what they do or why to use one, come
join us at this workshop. We will answer your questions and make
sure you walk out with a fully assembled rain barrel ready to use at
your home.”
Please bring a cordless drill. If you don’t have one, let us know and
we may have one for you to borrow. The fee for this program is
$40, which covers the cost of the rain barrel and connecting kit.
Pre-registration is required and you can pre-register by calling the
Darke SWCD office at 937-548-1752 or visiting our website,
www.darkeswcd.com. Space is limited, so register today!
