JUNE WEBINAR SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Pennsylvania Resources Council

Learn new skills AND protect the environment!  You can do it all in June by taking part in PRC online conservation workshops.

“PRC webinars are designed to raise awareness around environmental topics and to provide the necessary tools,” according to PRC Education Program Coordinator Nancy Martin.  “Using a rain barrel saves water and reduces our impact on waterways, and making our own compost from kitchen scraps and yard debris reduces landfill methane emissions while providing us with a wonderful product for use on garden beds.  Both of these activities benefit the environment in a variety of ways, both short term and long term.”

Individuals living in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and surrounding areas can take part in a Backyard Composting webinar on June 8 or June 28 and then pick up a compost bin at a regional PRC office.

Individuals living in the greater Pittsburgh area can register for a Watershed Awareness/Rain Barrel webinar taking place on June 2, June 9 or June 24 and then pick up a rain barrel at a location in western Pennsylvania.

To register for a PRC webinar, visit prc.org/programs/webinars or e-mail nancym@prc.org.
