RAINWATER REVIVAL POURS INTO DRIPPING SPRINGS ON OCTOBER 9

From the seven hills of ancient Rome to today's Texas Hill Country, rainwater collection has spanned the globe and the ages. To celebrate this timeless conservation practice, rainwater collection professionals and enthusiasts will converge just outside of Austin in Dripping Springs, Texas on Saturday, October 9, 2010 for the Rainwater Revival. The festive day will be filled with informative and entertaining presentations by a stellar line-up of conservation professionals including Plateau's own Kasey Mock. The day will also include shopping, kids' crafts - such as a watercolor station where Plateau's resident watercolor artist and Director of Administration Janine Gwaltney will be volunteering - and live music featuring The Derailers, Bob Livingston's Cowboys & Indians, and kids’ favorite Joe McDermott. The event will be held from 10am - 5pm at Roger Hanks Park. Free admission. For more information, including complete speaker line-up and directions, visit RainwaterRevival.com.

Plateau professionals will also be appearing at other events in the coming weeks. For the most current list of dates and places,visit plateauwildlife.com/seminars.html.

Wildlife love rainwater harvesting, too! Plateau carries two sizes of wildlife rainwater collection systems, both of which fulfill a 10-year credit for a wildlife management activity! Learn more about the Plateau Water Table 305 and Plateau Water Table 55 on plateauwildlife.com.
