San Mateo County! Learn how you can capture rainwater at your school or home while also conserving water, saving money on irrigation costs, and helping prevent stormwater pollution.
Join Flows To Bay and the Connect Community Charter School community for a FREE hands-on rain barrel installation workshop at their school garden in Redwood City! You’ll learn how to set up a barrel for rain harvesting success from local installation expert, DIG Cooperative.
All ages are welcome to participate in the learning and the FUN! Snacks, water, and educational materials will be provided.
