Penn State Master Watershed Stewards will hold a rain barrel workshop at the York County Annex Building, 112 Pleasant Acres Road, York, on Thursday, Sept. 19, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
The workshop will begin with a short program about stormwater and rain barrels. Participants will then make a rain barrel to install at home. All materials will be provided. The barrels are recycled food-grade barrels. Participants may want to paint their rain barrel after the workshop. Painting is not included in the workshop. After installing the rain barrels, participants may help save water by using the collected water to water plants and gardens.
There is a fee per rain barrel. Participants must preregister by calling 877-345-0691 or by visiting http://www.cvent.com/events/rain-barrel-workshop/event-summary.
