Chlorides (salts) in streams have become a rising concern. Join BRC staff and volunteers to sample over 65 sites in the Red Clay and Brandywine Watersheds for chlorides to find “hot spots” and baseline data on a localized level. This activity will begin with a short description of the impacts of chlorides on our stream at our Myrick Conservation Center location. All participants will be assigned 4-6 sites to collect a water sample on their own to bring back to the Myrick Conservation Center for testing. Plan to wear boots or shoes that can get wet. Participants will be assigned site locations based upon a brief survey sent to you after registration. Rain date: 10/16
