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:Salt Intrusion Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Trees killed by saltwater intrusion in Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Photo: NCWetlands.org via Flickr\, CC0.\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, October 15\, 2025. Doors open at 6 p.m. for light refreshments. Lecture begins at 6:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: Stroud Water Research Center\, 970 Spencer Road\, Avondale\, PA 19311\n\n\n\nCost: Free to attend\, but please RSVP.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs sea levels rise\, the threat is not just the swelling sea\, but the encroaching salt that kills forests and affects farmable land.  \n\n\n\nHolly Michael\, Ph.D.\, director of the Delaware Environmental Institute\, professor\, and Unidel Fraser Russell Career Development Chair for the Environment at the University of Delaware\, will share her research around this changing landscape.
