Art & Science on the River: Salt Workshop

Join us for a morning at the MWMO Stormwater Park and Learning Center where we will learn about the impacts of salt on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed. Did you know that one teaspoon of salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water and salt makes freshwater uninhabitable for many aquatic species?

Local artists Kimberly Boustead and Annie Hejny will lead an art-making activity centered around the interaction of salt and water and MWMO staff member, Abby Moore, will share information about salt pollution in the river and best practices to prevent it.

This workshop is part of the Art and Science on the River MWMO workshop series that seeks to help participants gain broader perspectives on different challenges to the river through art-making and information sharing.
