SUMMARY:Understanding PFAS Testing: A Community Guide
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Waterkeeper Alliance\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nConcerned about PFAS in your community but not sure where to start with testing? Join Hispanic Access Foundation and Waterkeeper Alliance for an accessible\, community-focused webinar designed to make PFAS testing easier to understand\, no scientific background required. \n\n\n\n\nThey will explain what PFAS testing is\, how it works\, what you need to know before testing\, and how to make sense of the results. You’ll learn about the testing process in plain language\, from collecting a sample to receiving your laboratory report. \n\n\n\nPotomac Riverkeeper Network’s own Upper Potomac Riverkeeper\, Brent Walls will join the conversation as a panelist to discuss how we incorporate Cyclopure test kits into our work. 🧪 \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a community member\, local organizer\, environmental advocate\, or simply want to know more about the water or environment where you live\, this webinar will give you the information and confidence to take the next step. \n\n\n\n\nYou’ll learn: \n\n\n\n\nWhat PFAS are and why communities may want to test\n\n\n\nHow to collect samples for PFAS testing\n\n\n\nHow PFAS are detected and measured\n\n\n\nHow to understand your test results\n\n\n\nPractical tips for communities conducting their own testing\n\n\n\n\nNo scientific experience is necessary. This webinar is designed to make PFAS testing understandable and accessible to everyone. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be bilingual (English/Spanish)\, with live Spanish interpretation provided. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWednesday\, September 9\, 202612 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nFREE Zoom Webinar \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Mussels in the Mainstream
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Ashley Flores\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOysters get a lot of buzz in the Chesapeake Bay region\, but freshwater mussels provide many of the same ecosystem services in the 64\,000-square-mile watershed that feeds into the Bay. These unsung water quality and habitat heroes are finally getting some mainstream recognition\, with their inclusion in the 2025 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and restoration efforts ongoing in streambeds across the watershed. \n\n\n\nJoin the Chesapeake Research Consortium on Wednesday\, September 23rd from 12-1pm to hear how science\, innovative approaches\, and watershed policy are converging to support populations of native freshwater mussels. \n\n\n\nPotomac Riverkeeper Network’s own Staff Scientist\, Evan Quinter will join the conversation as a panelist to discuss our 50 Million Mussels Project and our work to repopulate the Potomac and Shenandoah with these small but mighty creatures! \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nEvan Quinter\, Staff Scientist\, Potomac Riverkeeper NetworkJamie Brunkow\, Director of Advocacy and River Ecology\, James River Association \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWednesday\, September 23\, 202612 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nFREE Zoom Webinar \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
