Wingra Creek - Salt Watch Monitoring

On January 31, organizations across the country are hosting stream sampling events for community scientists and volunteers to collect chloride and conductivity data in what scientists call a synoptic sampling event or salt snapshot.

In Madison, staff from Wisconsin Salt Wise and UW-Madison  are partnering to offer a local monitoring event for everyone who is interested to learn more about current monitoring data, reduction efforts, and go out and grab a sample that we can analyze on site.

We'll meet at the UW-Arboretum Visitor Center lobby. After some introductions and an overview, we'll pop down to Wingra Spring to gather a sample and measure current salt (chloride) levels.
