Rain Barrel Workshop at Naples Brewing
2022-07-13 14:30 | Naples Brewing Company, 104 North Main Street, Naples, NY, 14512
*EVENT IS FULL*

Join the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association, the Ontario County Soil & Water Conservation District and the Naples Brewing Company for a rain barrel workshop. We will start with a short presentation on healthy lake tips and will follow with a demo on how to build your barrel. We will then help you build your own 55 gallon rain barrel.
Installing a rain barrel is an easy way to protect our environment and save money. A rain barrel collects & stores rainwater from your roof that would otherwise be lost to runoff & diverted to storm drains or streams. The water from your barrel can be used for watering gardens & lawns, cleaning outdoor furniture, & the list goes on.
Cost is $30 per barrel. The Naples Brewing Company will be offering a 10% discount on beverages to workshop attendees!
We have a rain date of July 14, 2022. We will contact you directly if the date/time changes.

Water Chestnut Pull at High Tor
2022-07-06 05:00 - 08:00 | High Tor Boat Launch
Join the Finger Lakes Institute and CLWA for a water chestnut pull in the West River on July 6th at 9:00 am.
Water chestnut is a floating-leaved, annual aquatic plant that was found in the West River in 2014. Populations of this plant can form very dense mats of interlocking rosettes, shading out the water column and suppressing most other aquatic plant growth in the area. The good news is, hand pulling can be an effective management strategy.

Owasco Nursery Willow Planting Event
2022-05-21 05:00 - 09:00
This in-person event is part of Lake Friendly Living Awareness Month and is sponsored by Owasco Lake Watershed Management Council, Owasco Watershed Lake Association, and SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry.
A riparian forest buffer is an area adjacent to a stream, lake, or wetland that contains a combination of trees, shrubs, and/or other perennial plants and is managed to provide conservation benefits. Conservation benefits of riparian buffers include carbon sequestration for reducing the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, and the settling of sediments and nutrients that might otherwise discharge into waterways. In partnership with SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry and the Owasco Watershed Lake Association, the Owasco Lake Watershed Management Council is hosting this volunteer community planting event to develop a shrub willow nursery in a vacant lot in the Town of Owasco. The nursery will act as a long-term source of shrub willow for the future installation of riparian buffers within the Owasco Lake watershed.
