Lead in the Soil? A Community Investigation
June 3, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm EDT
We are investigating lead in North Central Troy, NY! Come to this public meeting to learn how YOU can be a citizen scientist, using easy DIY kits to test soil for lead contamination.
At this hands-on, participatory event, you will:
- Learn why we’re taking action on soil lead
- Make a map together of places where we interact with soil (playgrounds, gardens, empty lots, etc.)
- Find out what you can do about contaminated soil – with a special presentation from the Radix Ecological Sustainability Center
- Learn how to collect and prepare soil samples for testing
- Sign up for a FREE soil testing workshop that will take place on June 17
This special event is a joint project of NATURE Lab and the Our Soil team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (https://oursoil.wp.rpi.edu/).
The event on June 3 is free and open to the public. However, limited space is available for the free soil testing workshop on June 17. If you want to secure your spot, register here: https://oursoil.wp.rpi.edu/join/
We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
