Rain Barrel Workshop with the Gunpowder Valley Conservancy

# Save water, save money, and save our local waterways!

Rain barrels help reduce pollution to our local creeks and streams. The water collected in rain barrels can be used to irrigate lawns and gardens, wash cars, or simply infiltrate back into the ground during drier periods.

Join the Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC) for a workshop to learn more about rain barrel benefits as well as proper assembly and maintenance. This workshop is geared towards home owners, businesses, and/or faith-based organizations interested in conserving water while also reducing stormwater runoff from their property.

Note: You must use these links to register. Registration closes Friday morning, 6/20.

GVC will be selling blue rain barrels (55 gallon capacity) in advance of the workshop. Please make sure to submit your order when registering for the workshop. Our rain barrels are repurposed, food-grade barrels donated by McCormick. Each barrel comes with a PVC elbow to attach to your downspout**.**

The cost is $75/barrel if you live within the Gunpowder Watershed. If you live outside of the watershed, the cost is $100/barrel

We are asking participants to pre-pay for their rain barrel(s). GVC staff will check the address provided to ensure that it matches the rain barrel order “in project area” ($75) or “out of project area” ($100).

Refund Policy: Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC) volunteers spend time cleaning, assembling, and delivering rain barrels to meet the demand reflected in our online orders. To reduce the impact of no-shows, we have implemented the following refund policy.

• Full refund if you cancel your order by June 14th (one week before workshop date)
• No refund if you are a no-show on the day of the event. Your deposit will be treated as a general donation to GVC.
