Salt Sleuth Community Science 4/26/2025

Drop in between 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Meet at Wachusett Reservoir Headquarters, 180 Beaman Street, West Boylston.

Become a Salt Sleuth to do freshwater forensics! Volunteers will contribute valuable data as increasing chloride levels have been documented from road salt in the Wachusett Reservoir Watershed. Collect a water sample from any body of water during Earth Day Week. Bring the water sample with you or pick up a sampling kit at the Wachusett Reservoir Headquarters. DCR Environmental Quality Staff will test for conductivity, map the results, and demonstrate salt measurement techniques. All ages are welcome.

Dogs are not allowed.
