Tippecanoe Branch

Community Room, Gift of Heather Hurley

Learn how to install and care for a rain barrel at a rain barrel workshop. Participants will learn about water conservation and the many benefits of using rain barrels.

Learn how to install and care for a rain barrel! In this rain barrel workshop brought to you by MMSD and the Fresh Coast Guardians, participants will learn about water conservation and the many benefits of using rain barrels. Rain barrels capture rainwater from your roof that you can use later when it's dry for thirsty gardens. They also help prevent rain from becoming polluted stormwater runoff, the biggest remaining threat to clean rivers and our Great Lakes.

One FREE rain barrel will be provided per owner-occupied household at this workshop.*

*You have to live within Milwaukee County (excluding South Milwaukee) to receive a free rain barrel. You must register prior to attending. No walk-ins allowed. If you have received a free rain barrel in the past you are not eligible for an additional one.
