Rain Barrel
Workshop at Shawnee Prairie on June 20th
The Darke Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and Darke County
Park District will be hosting a Rain Barrel Workshop on Tuesday, June
20th 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 partner with the Parks to host 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!
