Heidelberg Project Rain Barrel Workshop, Huge Success!!!

This past weekend we had an amazing Saturday morning at the Heidelberg Project with the help of both the Heidelberg and the Sierra Great Lakes Program, 30 Rain Barrels went to Detroiters’. We showed everyone how to make them, install them, and paint them too! Lots of amazing people and great weather made for an amazing workshop. Thank you Heidelberg Project community and Sierra Club! Below are some pictures from the event. If you are interested in doing a workshop in your community email us for more information.

Rain Barrels on the RiverFront 2016

Rain Barrels on the Riverfront is back. A three way partnership between the Sierra Club Great Lakes Program, The Detroit RiverFront Conservancy and Maxi Container (aka mirainbarrel) will return (for the second time this year) to Downtown Detroit this April 23rd and July 18th.

There are many ways to participate. You can buy your barrel right here in advance. Pay online, over the phone, or send us a check. If you are unable to afford the reduced price of $50 to build your barrel you can apply for a scholarship with the Sierra Club by calling (313) 444-3705. If you are unsure if you want to buy a rain barrel, it is free to attend so just show up and watch us build. We will have special guest speakers and demonstrations on how to install your barrel during the workshop, too!

So whether you want a rain barrel or are just curious, stop by Rain Barrels on the Riverfront 2016 to help reduce storm water runoff, promote green living and most of all have fun doing it. Click here to view photos from past workshops.
