We’re tempted to write a clever, attention-grabbing headline like “De-Icing With Death” or “De Best of De Cake Is De-Icing,” but we know (a) that’s not so clever and (b) it might distract from a serious topic and a valuable upcoming workshop.

Overuse of salt in a parking lot can damage adjacent vegetation.

The truth is, winter maintenance of parking lots and sidewalks can be time-consuming and costly, and improper management of these paved surfaces can negatively impact local waterways.

The Kane County Division of Environmental & Water Resources, in partnership with The Conservation Foundation, is hosting a Parking Lots & Sidewalks Deicing Workshop from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 3, in the Auditorium of Building A at the Kane County Government Center, 719 S. Batavia Ave., Geneva.

Who should attend? Anyone who maintains parking lots for park districts, school districts, libraries, government buildings, multi-family housing or commercial properties.

The workshop cost is $25 per person, which includes breakfast.

Online registration will close after Friday, Sept. 29, however you may still register through Monday by contacting Nancy Cinatl at 630-428-4500 x120 or ncinatl@theconservationfoundation.org.
