Tuesday, December 2, the December Sustainable Brunswick Lecture presents Salt Use and Winter Prep, a double feature from 5-6:30 pm at Curtis Memorial Library in the Morrell Meeting Room.
Please join us as we welcome Bill Guindon (Mass Care Coordinator for the Maine Emergency Management Agency) and Josh Katz (previously of MDOT) for presentations that dive into best practices for both ecological and personal preparedness this winter. Bill Guindon will discuss winter weather hazards and conditions faced here in Maine, cold-weather preparedness tips, and practical steps for improving personal and community preparedness. Josh Katz, leaning on his 23 years of experience with MDOT working with road salt and water supply issues, will cover the history of winter road maintenance, current practices, and the environmental impacts of road salts on your well and the local ecosystem. Curtis Library will also have various items on display from their Library of Things to inspire attendees to borrow and choose the right tools and supplies for preparedness and sustainability.
All are welcome to attend this free, in-person event, regardless or age or residency; please note, zoom will not be available. Though not required, we recommend registering in advance to ensure adequate seating/materials are available (click here to register). Feel free to pass this along to anyone you think may be interested in attending – we hope to see you there!
