rain barrels

Rainwater collection is almost as old as civilization itself. Rain barrels are a great way to conserve water, help the environment and create a ready source of water for your garden in the hot summer months. This hybrid (face to face and virtual) workshop will show youth ages 9-18, how to make a mini rain barrel from inexpensive and recycled materials, how to make and read a rain gauge, and how they can help the environment by collecting and reusing water.

So join us Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at 4:30 p.m. at the N.C. Cooperative Extension-Currituck County Center. You may register to participate onsite or virtually through a live Zoom broadcast.
