Learn how to harvest rainwater for all your garden needs and to combat stormwater pollution in your community by constructing a rain barrel! A rain barrel is a container used to collect and store rainwater that would otherwise be lost to runoff and likely diverted to a storm drain. Collected water may then be used to water lawns and gardens. All participants may be eligible for a free rain barrel.

Join our workshop for a brief presentation and demonstration on how to set up your rain barrel, plus help us paint a community rain barrel to be raffled at the end of Latino Conservation Week. Food will be provided.

¡Aprende a cosechar agua de lluvia para todas las necesidades de tu jardín y a combatir la contaminación por aguas pluviales en tu comunidad construyendo un barril de lluvia! Un barril de lluvia es un recipiente utilizado para recolectar y almacenar agua de lluvia que de otro modo se perdería en la escorrentía y probablemente sería desviada a un desagüe pluvial. El agua recolectada se puede utilizar para regar céspedes y jardines. Todos los participantes pueden ser elegibles para un barril de lluvia gratuito.

Únete a nuestro taller para una breve presentación y demostración sobre cómo configurar tu barril de lluvia, además de ayudarnos a pintar un barril de lluvia que se sorteará al final de la Semana de Conservación Latina. Se proporcionará comida.

In Cleveland, Ohio conservation looks like healing our relationship with each other and with land that has been historically misused, polluted, and abused. As a deindustrialized city where the smokestacks of the steel industry still dot our skyline, where lead and toxins are found in our soil, the Latine Environmental Colectivo seeks to center lived experiences of our comunidad and to be a catalyst for environmental change.

Cafecito Green is a conversation that will provide a platform for the comunidad to discuss environmental and conservation concerns that are impacting our local Latine community. Conservation and environmental areas of concern that are specific to the Cleveland Latine community will be identified and serve as the guiding direction of the Latine Environmental Colectivo. Join us and members of the Latine community for café y conversación, bringing forward these issues to promise a better future for nuestra comunidad.
