April’s Meeting
On Monday, April 17, Daniel Cunningham will visit us again and be bringing rain barrels to assemble after a short presentation.
“Does your rain just run off? Divert it, save it, use it!! Come learn the basics and benefits of rainwater harvesting and the effects stormwater has on the environment. Participants will learn how to collect and utilize rainwater at home and have the opportunity to construct their very own 55 gallon rain barrel. (This class is hands on “DIY” and each participant can take home a barrel(s) at $50 dollars each.)” To request a rain barrel, please reserve one using this link. https://dallas.tamu.edu/courses/2017/april-17-2017-saving-from-a-rainy-day-making-a-rain-barrel-native-plant-society-dallas/
