SPEAKER: 
Samantha Puckett, Clean Water Program Director,
Izaak Walton League of America

Come find out what individuals and neighborhoods can do about "too much salt!"  Since 2018, the Izaak Walton League of America has been working to solve road salt pollution issues from the source with the Salt Watch. The goals of Salt Watch are to raise awareness in the general public about the connection between road salt and public health, to identify waterways with high levels of road salt pollution, and to advocate for smarter road salting practices by sharing Salt Watch results with private landowners and local and state agencies. Sam, who has been with the Izaak Walton League since early 2016 in various roles, now leads the clean water team in all aspects of volunteer monitoring and advocacy.  Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and dogs, crafting, and supporting the local food system via her weekly CSA shares and U-Pick endeavors.
