Rain <br />barrels collect rainwater from your roof downspouts, <br />which can later be used to water your lawn or garden <br />during dry weeks. Most have a screen on the top to <br />keep mosquitoes from breeding, an overflow valve, <br />and a spigot at the bottom to attach to your garden <br />hose. <br />You can pre-purchase rain barrels and compost bins <br />from the Recycle Association of Minnesota this spring <br />at very discounted rates. Online pre-ordering will begin <br />early 2015 and stay open until sold out. There are also <br />additional various pick-up dates this spring throughout <br />the metro area in addition to the Washington County <br />Fairgrounds which you can view on the RAM website. <br />The Washington Conservation District is currently tak- <br />ing orders for the annual tree sale. Trees can be or- <br />dered in bundles of 25 for only $35, and the selection <br />includes conifers, hardwoods and shrubs. In addition <br />we are offering a special bird pack of trees – 30 bird <br />friendly trees for $50 that include Bur Oak, White Oak, <br />Black Cherry, White Pine, Chokecherry, and Wild <br />plum. Conservation District staff can also help you to <br />plan your planting project and have tree bars available <br />for rental. To order trees, check for sold out trees, or to <br />learn more about the program, visit the WCD website <br />or call Wendy at 651-275-1136 x24. <br />For more information on rain barrels and compost <br />bins visit www.recycleminnesota.org. <br />For more tree sale informaiton or to obtain a tree sale <br />order form visit www.mnwcd.org. <br />Annual Tree and Rain Barrel <br />Sale - Pre-Order Early 2015
