Do you have a:

- Other location where kids play outdoors?

Want to have your soil tested for lead for free?

The students in an Environmental Justice course at Cabrini University will be offering soil lead testing as a community service project.

It’s easy! If you sign up to participate, a small group of college students will come to your facility on Wednesday, April 6th and collect 5 small soil samples. In May, we’ll let you know what the results were, and if necessary, work with you to address any problems.

If you’re interested, please contact:
