Hannah Ward, BCCD&#8217;s watershed specialist, showed a video on how to build a rain barrel and explained the tools needed.<\/p>\r\n<p>Participants received a rain barrel, rain barrel kit, and informational flyers. After the workshop, participants commented that they would make changes to their property to reduce stormwater run-off. For example, they will install the rain barrel using the materials and knowledge they received at the workshop, implement a rain garden or buffer on their property, or implement some of the best management practices discussed.<\/p>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-21482 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"82\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/epa_logo-2.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 75px) 100vw, 75px\" \/><\/a>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>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From BCCD\u2019s Fall 2021 Newsletter The Beaver County Conservation District (BCCD) held an in-person rain barrel workshop in September 2021.
