2026 Rain Barrel Registration

Are you interested in conserving water, protecting the environment, and supporting local watersheds? The Deep Creek Watershed Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Maryland Extension and the Master Gardener Program, is offering Garrett County residents a unique opportunity to receive a free rain barrel!

Rain barrels are an excellent way to collect and store rainwater for outdoor use, such as watering plants, gardens, and lawns. They help reduce runoff, protect local waterways, and contribute to sustainable living practices.

How to Qualify

  • Proper rain barrel installation techniques.
  • Maintenance and care for long-term use.
  • Environmental benefits include reducing stormwater runoff and supporting local watersheds.

Registration Details

Space and barrels are limited, so registration is required.

The distribution date will be announced soon, so stay tuned for updates!
