Recently, our Education and Outreach Coordinator, Grace, held rain barrel workshops at West Point Library and the new Upper King William Library! Participants learned more about rain barrels, why they’re important, and our Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP). To wrap things up, everyone went home with a 50-gallon rain barrel of their own!

A big thank you to the King William County Library System for providing the space and helping make these workshops possible!
