Collecting and reusing rainwater can benefit the environment and your bank account, lessening the impact of runoff on our waterways and lowering your water bill. Join Jennifer Willoughby of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB) to learn more about rain barrel installation, maintenance, and integration into your landscape. During an optional second hour, Jennifer will discuss two popular ways for watershed-wise homeowners to “green” their backyards: pollinator gardens and “xeriscapes,” or landscapes that reduce the need for supplemental watering.

Pre-registration is required.
