On October 26th, from 4-6pm, Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County and the Dutchess Watershed Coalition will be leading a“Train the Trainer” Rain Barrel Building Workshop. This workshop is for individuals, organizations & municipalities interested in teaching people how to build their own rain barrels. Participants will learn how to lead a Rain Barrel Building workshop in their community, including useful background information, how and where to get materials for the workshop, and how to lead a group of people through the steps of making their own barrels. PowerPoint’s, handouts, and a resource list will be shared with all participants. At the workshop we will also discuss the possibility of working as a collective group to help each other organize workshops in their community (including the possibility of ordering supplies in bulk to take advantage of discounts etc...).
***This workshop is not for individuals wanting to learn how to make rain barrels for their own personal use. We will continue to lead those types of workshops again in the Spring, if not sooner.***
Space is limited and registration for this workshop is required. Also required is a commitment to lead or assist with a Rain Barrel Building Workshop in the next year. There is no fee for participants who live or work in Dutchess County and who plan to organize a workshop within Dutchess County. For participants outside of Dutchess County there is a $40 registration fee to cover the cost of materials and supplies.
In order to register, please contact Vicky Buono at 845-677-8223, ext. 153. Your space is not guaranteed in the workshop until you have received confirmation from Vicky and have paid your registration fee, if required.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Carolyn at 845-677-8223, ext. 135. The Dutchess Watershed Roundtable will follow this workshop from 6:30-9pm. If you are planning on attending both events please contact Carolyn for dinner arrangements.
