SUMMARY:Fall Salt Pollution Stream Snapshot
DESCRIPTION:Tookany/Tacony-Frankford (TTF) Watershed Partnership Upstream Conservation Leader Ryan Neuman\, along with volunteers Geoffrey Selling\, Ethan Simon\, Richard Getz\, and Patricia Hendrick-Emore\, participated in 2025 Winter Salt Week to monitor the impact of road salt on local waterways. With support from Stroud Water Research Center\, the team collected data on chloride and conductivity levels on Rock Creek and Baeder Creek\, two major tributaries to the Tookany. Photos: Wendi Lu\, TTF Watershed Partnership on Flickr.\n\n\n\nWant to Get Involved in Community Science? \n\n\n\nStroud Water Research Center is planning a community science stream monitoring event this fall. Water sampling will assess salt pollution levels and patterns in streams and rivers\, helping researchers and community members better understand how road salt accumulates across different landscapes.  \n\n\n\nThe intention for this fall event will be to sample during baseflow conditions when water levels are stable and not influenced by storm runoff (i.e.\, when the water in the stream is originating from groundwater/water table) within a two-week sample window (October 1–15). \n\n\n\nThe salt snapshot provides a unique\, hands-on opportunity to generate data illustrating that road salt contaminates our watersheds year-round. This data will help start local conversations and shine a public spotlight on this critical water quality issue. The level of road salt contamination highly depends on how much road salt private applicators and municipalities use and how they handle it. Therefore\, local data are a vital part of the conversation.   \n\n\n\nTo get involved: \n\n\n\n\nReview the introductory email about the fall salt snapshot.\n\n\n\nReview the snapshot guidance document.\n\n\n\nRefer to the above documents and others in the 2025 Fall Snapshot Resources for Event Organizers folder.\n\n\n\nRegister with a watershed group to participate. All are welcome.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Participate\n\n\n\nRequest Supplies\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Please get in touch with Community Science Facilitator David Bressler at dbressler@stroudcenter.org.  \n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\nDiscover how road salt is polluting fresh water.\n\n\n\nRead the recap of our winter salt snapshot\, “Winter Salt Week Unites Those Concerned About Fresh Water.”\n\n\n\nView the data on a winter salt map.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Streamside Buffer Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, October 25\, 2025 from 9 to 11 a.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: Meet at Stoner Commons parking lot\, 605 Granite Run Dr\, Lancaster\, PA.\n\n\n\nWhat to wear/bring: Long sleeves\, long pants\, and work gloves.\n\n\n\n\nOn the third Saturday of every month (this month\, the fourth Saturday)\, Watershed Restoration Coordinator Lamonte Garber hosts a volunteer day at Overlook Park to assist with general streamside buffer maintenance. Tasks include pulling weeds\, caring for tree seedlings\, and planting shrubs\, among others.    \n\n\n\nIf you are interested in attending\, please click the button below and complete the interest form. Garber will email volunteers any schedule changes due to inclement weather or other factors. \n\n\n\nYou only need to complete the form once to be notified of upcoming volunteer work days. \n\n\n\n\nComplete the Interest Form
