Excess road salt in New York harms personal property, drinking water, public infrastructure and natural systems – but we still don’t know how much salt is put on our roads each winter. The Road Salt Right to Know Act addresses that gap. Email now: adirondackcouncil.quorum.us/campaign/162...

The photo shows a marsh in autumn, with the deep blue sky reflected in the quiet water. This is Heron Marsh, a marsh in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The photo was taken from the Heron Marsh Trail, one of several interpretive nature trails at the Paul Smith’s College VIC – a nature center with over 25 miles of trails on a 3,000 acre property.
