Road salts are an essential tool to ensuring the accessibility and safety roads, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces. When melted snow and ice runs across landscapes, however, road salts can enter aquatic environments and enact damage on these ecosystems. Tune in to learn about how Ottawa Riverkeeper is monitoring salt concentrations in local streams and creeks in the National Capital Region, and about how we are providing resources to local businesses to reduce their salt footprint!
We will dive into the data we are collecting, what action you can take to reduce your road salt use, and the current progress on our salt reduction training program.
