Walk in the Woods Events

A few times a year, we invite people knowledgeable about interesting subjects to lead the public on a hike while they share their wisdom with us. We call it a Walk in the Woods. Find upcoming events here.

Why should we care about winter salt use? Oversalting our streets and sidewalks in the winter results in saltier rivers and streams. It harms aquatic life, plants, infrastructure and our drinking water. Join the Izaak Walton League of America and the City of Gaithersburg on a fun and informative hike to learn about our addiction to deicing salt and how we can all live on a low winter salt diet. Expect to walk about 3 miles on easy terrain. Please bring your own water bottle. This event is FREE but please register on Eventbrite in case of delays or rescheduling due to bad weather.I﻿zaak Walton League will be providing a <a href="https://www.iwla.org/water/stream-monitoring/salt-watch" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Salt Watch kit</a> to anyone interested in getting involved.
