SUMMARY:Low and No-Salt Water Softening and Conditioning - November 7
DESCRIPTION:The November session of Itasca Waters’ Water Wisdom focuses on “Low and No-Salt Water Softening and Conditioning.” The webinar is from noon – 1 CT on November 7. \nSalt pollution is an increasing concern in Minnesota\, as salt use for water softening\, deicing roads\, and other applications can lead to increasing chloride levels in our lakes\, streams\, and rivers. Elevated chloride levels can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems and species like dragonflies and freshwater mussels. Research in Minnesota has identified water softening as a major source of chloride\, as much of the state has very hard water and home water softening is common. There is high interest in low- and no-salt treatment alternatives to reduce chloride pollution\, but there is limited research and guidance for consumers. \nThis presentation will give an overview of alternatives to home water softening as well as some of the costs and benefits of these technologies. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:2024 Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference - November 12-14
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference (UMISC) addresses both aquatic and terrestrial invasive species. This will be a hybrid conference with both in-person and online attendance options. The conference will be held in Duluth. Early Bird rates apply through September 27\, 2024. \nThe goal of conference is to strengthen management of invasive species\, especially prevention\, control\, and containment. There have been great strides in invasive species research\, prevention\, and management\, but much work still must be done. The conference provides numerous opportunities to network with professionals\, land managers\, researchers\, nonprofits\, and others. \nMany of us have attended in the past\, especially since it is in our backyard. It’s a great vehicle for getting smarter and connecting with everybody who’s anybody in AIS in Minnesota\, Wisconsin\, and Michigan. \nHere’s the link to the conference website and here’s a link to the plenary and topical sessions.
