Montgomery County Smart Salt Applicator Training – The Izaak Walton League of America (with support from Montgomery County DEP and the Chesapeake Bay Trust) is offering a virtual Smart Salting Training on August 30, 2023. This training will help contracted salt applicators learn how to save money and protect water resources by using less salt while keeping roads, parking lots, and sidewalks safe. The tons of salt used every year to manage snow and ice damages infrastructure and vegetation and pollutes our lakes, streams, and groundwater. Participating organizations have been able to reduce their salt use by 30 to 70%. While this training is FREE(!), spaces are limited, so register soon! Should you have any questions, please contact Izaak Walton League staff at saltwatch@iwla.org.
