Register for this event

Milwaukee Riverkeeper invites winter maintenance professionals to participate in a FREE Snow and Ice Removal Workshop led by Minnesota’s Fortin Consulting. Participants in this workshop will learn state of the art winter maintenance practices, including how to transition to liquid deicers and to reduce overall salt application to parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks.

The workshop is part of a larger grant-supported effort funded by Fund for Lake Michigan to increase awareness of the impact of winter deicing activities on local waterways through Milwaukee Riverkeeper’s public education and monitoring work. That means, there is NO COST to attend!

After successful completion of the workshop, participating contractors will receive certification in snow and ice control best practices! Learn more about this certification program as well as other Wisconsin contractors that have been certified.

Participants will receive:

  • Certifications in snow and ice control best practices
  • Training materials
  • A non–contact infrared thermometer
  • Lunch and snacks
