Road salt keeps us safe during the winter, but excess amounts threaten streams and wildlife. Learn how Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy tracks salt pollution and try a practice stream survey.

This community science program is a fun way to explore streams year-round and advocate for smarter salting practices. Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy is starting season six of their Salt Watch survey in partnership with the Izaak Walton League of America. 

See Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's season four report here.
