Join the Izaak Walton League of America on a fun and informative hike to learn about our addiction to deicing salt and how we can all live on a low winter salt diet. Step into the shoes of an environmental detective as we explore the hidden impacts of oversalting our streets and sidewalks during the winter season. Discover how the excess salt harms delicate aquatic creatures, disrupts the fragile balance of our ecosystems, and pollutes our drinking water, and learn from the experts about what we can do to be "winter salt smart." Together, we can make a significant difference and create a cleaner, healthier future.
Expect to walk about 2-3 miles on flat/even terrain. Please bring your own water bottle.
