If you live in the West Chester area and are worried about salt pollution in your local stream, collect a water sample and bring it to be tested.
If you live in the Harrisburg area and are worried about salt pollution in your local stream, collect a water sample and bring it to be tested.
Volunteers throughout the Delaware River watershed and beyond will sample streams to tell the story of road salt in their communities.
Join us for a week of virtual and in-person events dedicated to raising awareness around salt pollution and reduction solutions.
Most stream sites sampled this fall exceeded at least one environmental chloride guideline — months after the last road salt was applied.
The award is a testament to Stroud Center staff who help bring science and outreach to life, and would not be possible without our community of partners, volunteers, and donors.
The Fall Salt Snapshot asked a simple question with big stakes: what can we learn about road salt pollution long after the snow is gone?
Join us to hear the results of the fall snapshot, participate in the discussion, and learn ways you can help keep our fresh water … fresh!
