Make A Rain Barrel Workshop with Olivia Spildooren (May 24, 2025)
$78.00
Capturing and reusing rainwater for your gardens with a rain barrel is an easy way of controlling stormwater, reducing local flooding, and saving money on water bills! Join Watershed Institute River-Friendly Coordinator, Olivia Spildooren, and Santino Lauricella, BHWP Education Manager in a workshop where you will construct your own rain barrel plus go home with instructions for installation, maintenance, and appropriate uses.
As the River-Friendly Coordinator, Olivia works with residents, schools, businesses, and golf courses to increase their environmental literacy, promote behavior change, and create in-the-ground projects to protect water quality and restore wildlife habitat. She has gained many hands-on experiences designing, installing, or maintaining naturalized detention basins, rain gardens, green roofs, rain barrels, and even constructed floating wetlands. When not working you might find Olivia hiking local woods, pointing at a bird, using iNaturalist to become more of a plant nerd, or playing the violin in her local orchestra.
