Girl Scout Troops Build Rain Barrels...
Girl Scouts build Rain barrels w Joshua

Recently, Joshua had the opportunity to take part in two rain barrel workshops coordinated with Girl Scout Troops from Metro-Detroit's East Side.

First, Margi from Clean Water Action offered the opportunity to get out to Saint Claire Shore's to do a workshop / lecture (kept it short for the 11 and 10 year old's) about protecting our Great Lakes and saving water for use in gardening.

Second, Tiffany Jarsky from Marine City found us online and wanted to host a workshop for her troop. This was the first time we went to Marine City and hope to be back!

View the photos from the Saint Claire Shores workshop.
