Each winter, billions of pounds of salt are spread on America’s roads to keep drivers and pedestrians safe. But all of this salt poses a major health risk to both humans and wildlife. Join us to learn how excessive salt affects benthic macroinvertebrates and other aquatic life in freshwater streams, and how one local community group is raising awareness and changing behavior around salt in the community!
