Free Rain Barrels For New Hampshire!
As part of our popular Rain Barrel Program, the New Hampshire Coastal Protection Partnership hosts Free Rain Barrel Days at local seacoast farmers’ markets and public events. Each rain barrel we give away is handmade from a recycled food grade plastic drum and assembled by our staff and volunteers.
