**Free Nitrate Screening for Private Well Owners at Tree Sale**

For the third year, we are offering rural landowners served by a well the opportunity to bring along a sample of your well water to be tested for nitrates. If you would like to participate, simply collect a cup of water from your well in a clean plastic or glass container and bring to the tree pick-up on Friday April 28th.  Check in your sample with staff, we will analyze the sample and provide you with immediate results. This free test is open to any private well owner.
