Registration is required (either by phone – 780-542-1932\, email – outreach@epbrparkscouncil.org or complete the registration below so that we can contact you after the count and get your checklists). \nWe will email you the bird checklist (if you prefer to hand count) and the e-bird instructions (if you prefer to use the app). \nOption 2 – Free Guided Bird Tour and Count\nJoin us on the self-drive Eagle Point Guided Bird Tour!  You can join us for the entire tour\, or just join us for a segment.  The self-drive tour begins at 7:30 am at Hilltop Trails trailhead (just above Willey West Campground).  There is quite a bit of walking involved\, so birders must be able to walk at a slow to medium pace for a distance of at least 3 km. \nRegistration is required!  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Earth Day Initiative: Rain Barrel Bonanza
DESCRIPTION:The Rain Barrel Bonanza is back!\nNeed a rain barrel? Perfect\, because Pembina Pipeline Corporation has once again got you covered. Join us in celebrating Earth Day this year with our Rain Barrel Bonanza initiative. \nHere’s the Scoop\nAs part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship\, we’re excited to offer area residents the opportunity to purchase a subsidized rain barrel for just $30.00. These 208-liter (55 gallons) rain barrels\, produced by Barrelman Inc.\, are made from food-grade storage containers and are ready to use. Thanks to Pembina Pipeline Corporation\, the cost of the rain barrels and their delivery to Drayton Valley are covered. \n \nWhen It’s Happening:\nDate: Tuesday\, April 22\, 2025 \nTime: Anytime between noon and 5:00 PM \nCost: $30.00 \nPre-register and Pre-pay: Ensure your eligibility by pre-registering and pre-paying. \nPickup Details: Barrels will be available for pickup on Earth Day\, Tuesday\, April 22\, 2025\, from Noon to 5:00 PM at the Pembina Pipeline office in Drayton Valley (5905-58th Avenue). Please note: Only registered participants who can pick up their barrel during this time frame are eligible. \nRain Barrel Eligibility\nThis opportunity is avaiable ONLY to residents in the Drayton Valley region. \nThe rain barrels are limited to ONE per household. \nWhy Get a Rain Barrel?\nEconomical: $100.00 – $150.00 is what it would cost you to purchase a similar ready-to-use rain barrel from a retailer. \nSustainable: Utilize a repurposed container\, reducing waste. \nWater Conservation: Collect nutrient-rich water for watering plants\, reducing municipal water usage and costs. Utilizing the rain barrel once a week\, for 12 weeks during the summer\, can provide up to 2\,508 liters (662 gallons) of water annually! \nSave Money: Lower your home water bills. \nSupport a Cause: Proceeds from the sale will support the EPBRPC Nature Navigator Van fundraising campaign\, contributing $1\,200 towards our $90\,000 goal. The Nature Navigator Van is a mobile hub of environmental education\, bringing more nature programming to schools and communities.
