Each winter, millions of tons of salt are applied to roads, sidewalks, and parking lots to keep us safe from snow and ice. But while salt improves traction, its long‑term consequences for our freshwater ecosystems, infrastructure, and even drinking water are significant – and winter salt application has skyrocketed over the past 50 years.

Join us for an eye‑opening discussion with Penn State experts Dr. Lauren McPhillips and Dr. Nat Warner, who will explore:

- How road salt travels through our watersheds
- Its effects on streams, lakes, and groundwater
- Emerging research on infrastructure corrosion and water quality
- What communities and individuals can do to reduce impacts
