Autumn is upon us and with its arrival come thoughts of the
“harvest” season. What better time to learn about harvesting that precious
and oh so valuable resource - available for the taking right over our
heads. That’s right! You may be missing out on an abundant, free supply of
the earth’s most valuable resource – fresh, clean water! When you attend
the Pennsylvania Resources Council’s (PRC) workshop you will learn how to
harvest rainwater from your roof, store it and use it in your landscape.
Take advantage of this free source of precious water while at the same
time contributing to improved water quality in our rivers and streams and
reducing your contribution to combined sewer overflow (CSO), flooding and
polluted urban runoff. Learn how to practice watershed protection and
conservation in your own backyard. It’s easier than you think!

PRC’s Watershed Awareness/Rain Barrel Workshop will raise your awareness
of watershed issues, demonstrate how to assemble and install a retrofitted
55-gallon drum/rain barrel, and offer other rainwater harvesting options.
Participants will receive the necessary hardware (not the barrel) to
assemble and install a rain barrel for rainwater harvesting and on-site
usage.
