Environmental Advisory Council Happenings

Downspout Planter Workshop Recap – May 12, 2022

On Thursday evening, May 12, the Township's Environmental Advisory Council held their Downspout Planter Workshop at Fischer’s Park, led by Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy Conservation Coordinator, Beth Myers. Beth guided participants through the steps of planting and installing a downspout planter at their home. A downspout planter is a great solution to reduce the amount of stormwater on your property. They attach to your downspout, then divert rainwater into the planter.

The event was $30 and included all necessary supplies and materials. It was an enjoyable experience for our participants and volunteers. The EAC is looking to plan additional community workshops.
