DIY Rain Harvesting Virtual Class

April 11, 2021, 8:00 AM - April 17, 2021, 10:00 PM @ Virtual, on demand online workshop

Rainwater harvesting is great for North Texas because you can keep some of the rain we get during the spring and fall to use during our hot and dry summers. Even a small roof area can produce a usable amount of water during an average rainfall. From huge cisterns to small DIY barrels, capturing rainwater can be done by anyone. Join our free online workshop to learn how, and then pick up a rain barrel to take home! Rain barrels are limited to Mansfield residents only as supplies last.
