An upcoming winter workshop aims to educate those responsible for managing parking lots, sidewalks, or public roads on the effective use of road salt and deicing materials. The workshop is organized by the Salt Smart Collaborative in partnership with Lake County departments. More information can be found at https://saltsmart.org/workshops/.

The workshops are designed to demonstrate how to use road salt wisely, reducing environmental impacts while also saving money. The necessity of these materials for safety is acknowledged, but their impact on water quality is a concern that the sessions will address.
