Event Description:
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.
Join the Izaak Walton League of America and the City of Gaithersburg on this fun and informative hike to learn about our addiction to deicing salt and how we can all live on a low winter salt diet. Together, we can make a significant difference and create a cleaner, healthier future. |
