Order A Rain Barrel From Quinte Conservation To Support Adopt An Acre
Mar 29, 2016
Rain barrels are available for order on the Quinte Conservation website (QuinteConservation.ca) until April 15 to support the Adopt An Acre program. Communications Manager Jennifer May-Anderson says, “This rain barrel sale is a win-win for 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.”
May-Anderson explains, “The rain barrels are $55 each and can be ordered online. They must be ordered by April 15 and will be ready for pick up on April 22 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 April 22 at Potter's Creek Conservation Area in Belleville from 1:00 pm to 4:00 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.
