Rain Barrel Workshop

rain barrel workshop
A rain barrel is an easy way to reduce stormwater runoff from your property and make the water available for irrigating your garden when you need it.  At these workshops you will assemble your own barrel and take it home with you that day.

Cost for all materials and equipment is $60.  Pre-registration is required.  Call 757-962-5398 or email  Trista@LRNow.org to register.


Volunteers Needed
Help with the LRNow Fall Festival, November 16th 

Our Fall Festival will feature eco-friendly craft vendors, fun and educational environmental displays, a children's treasure hunt and other games, a seafood market and delicious locally-sourced food.  And will complement the offerings of the Old Beach Farmers Market and the Green Market. 
 
In order for all of this to happen, we need help from lots of volunteers.  The event would not be possible without the help of all of you.  As an extra token of our appreciation, each volunteer will receive a free LRNow Volunteer T-shirt the day of the event. 

We need volunteers in many different roles and several different time slots.  To see the various opportunities and sign up to help, follow this link to Sign-up Genius.  

Thanks for your help!
