DON’T LET YOUR GARDEN DRY OUT THIS SUMMER - ORDER A RAIN BARREL FROM QUINTE CONSERVATION
Rain barrels are available for order on the Quinte Conservation website (QuinteConservation.ca) until May 4 to support the Adopt An Acre program. Communications Manager Jennifer May-Anderson says, “This rain barrel sale is a win-win for residents and the local environment. Rain barrels help to provide free irrigation for gardens as well as reduce harmful runoff into our local waterways and buying a rain barrel from Quinte Conservation supports the Adopt An Acre program. I’m sure most people remember the dry summer we had last year. Having a rain barrel means that you can still have water available for your garden or other uses in a time of drought.”
May-Anderson explains, “The rain barrels are $55 each and can be ordered online. They must be ordered by May 4 and will be ready for pick up on May 12 in Belleville. Each rain barrel includes a leaf and mosquito filter basket, an overflow adaptor, a spigot and an overflow hose. Downspout diverters, stands and flower pots are also available for purchase.”
Pre-ordered rain barrels will be available for pick up on May 12 at Potter's Creek Conservation Area in Belleville from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Buyers will be able to pick up barrels in the parking lot on the south side of Highway 2.
Quinte Conservation's Adopt An Acre program will receive $10 from every rain barrel sold and $2 from each downspout diverter, stand or flower pot sold. The Adopt An Acre program helps to preserve and protect local natural heritage lands.
