BUILD A RAIN BARRELWORKSHOP
The North Central Wisconsin Stormwater Coalition and the University of Wisconsin-Extension is sponsoring a “Build A Rain Barrel Workshop” on Tuesday, September 28 from 6-8 pm at Schofield City Hall, 200 Park St, Schofield.
Learn how a rain barrel can help conserve water and keep our lakes and streams clean at an upcoming workshop. Then build a barrel to take home. Rain barrels are used to collect rain that drains from your roof and runs down the gutters. A quarter-inch of rain falling on the average home yields a little over 200 gallons of water, and can fill a barrel in a matter of minutes. This water can then be used to water plants and gardens. This water would normally run across our lawns and driveways into the storm drains. Along the way this water picks up fertilizers, oil, and other pollutants. This water is not treated before it runs directly into our lakes and streams.
To register, send your check –payable to UW-Extension to: UW-Extension (Rain Barrel Workshop), 212 River Dr, Ste 3,Wausau WI 54403. Cost is $25. Workshop is limited to 30 registrants.
