Ten participants virtually explored the Chesapeake Bay watershed, acquired knowledge on water quality problems associated with the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and learned how individuals could reduce their stormwater footprint. Following the workshop, each participant was able to pick up a rain barrel to install on their property.<\/p>\n<p>The grant also provided funding for two additional rain barrels to be purchased for environmental education purposes. One rain barrel has been donated to the borough of Susquehanna, where it will be installed at the newly opened Ira Reynolds Riverfront Park. The second rain barrel will be on display at the Susquehanna County Conservation District. Once installed, the public is encouraged to visit both locations to learn more about stormwater and see how a rain barrel functions.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Susquehanna-Rain-Barrel-Press-Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> to read the entire press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21482\" width=\"110\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2.jpg 336w, https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past summer, the Susquehanna County Conservation District held an online rain barrel workshop to educate participants on managing stormwater in their community.
