Webinar: The Salt Watch Community Science Initiative

Event Dates

  • Wednesday, 09/11/2024 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Event Description

Since 2018, the Izaak Walton League Salt Watch program has been mobilizing community scientists across the nation to monitor chloride (road salt) levels in their local waterways and advocate for smarter salting practices. Although road salt is necessary for public safety in the winter, salt (especially applied in excessive amounts) can degrade natural habitat, threaten the health of our local streams and wildlife, and impact our drinking water. Join us to learn more about how to protect freshwater from road salt pollution and how to turn water monitoring data into action.
