EnviroScape
The EnviroScape® is a portable, interactive educational tabletop model that demonstrates sources of non-point source pollution and its effect on waterways.
It is a hands-on education & communication tool that is effective for all ages and allows the participants to relate local water pollution sources to the impacts
on nearby creeks, bays, and oceans. EnviroScape also emphasizes pollution prevention through the use of best management practices (BMPs).
