Join us for a free Streamwalk training with Save the Sound on Saturday, July 25, from 10 AM–2 PM at the Somers Public Library in Connecticut!

Learn how to assess the health of local streams during an indoor training session, then put your new skills into practice with a guided streamwalk along the Gulf Stream, a tributary of the Scantic River.
