How to Keep Freshwater Clean - PMNC0156

Join us in a workshop on the power of people and science to protect the “freshness” of our waterways. Road salt (sodium chloride) keeps us safe on roads and sidewalks but can be dangerous when it washes into creeks and streams. Fish, stream bugs, birds, frogs, salamanders, and even us humans are at risk when these waters become too salty! Fear not, for Salt Watch offers an easy way you and your neighbors can help. Meadowside Nature Center is hosting Salt Watch, an organization that teaches residents how to monitor road salt. Together, we will discuss road salt in our local environment, test water samples, and learn how to monitor road salt at home. This will be held indoors at Meadowside Nature Center.
