Valuable Resources for Innovative Programming!

Your model is a magnet ... the kids 'get it' and become the advocates at home.

Feb 10, 2020

When trying to educate the public (which is part of our MS4 permit responsibility) we are lucky if a few adults stop by and talk about stormwater. Most folks are busy and give you only a few-second look-see. When we use your model it attracts the kids for 10 minutes or more, and you get the parents as a bonus. We are finding that the kids 'get it' and become the advocates at home. Also, other (non-parent) adults pay closer attention to see what is happening. Your model is a magnet. What you and your colleagues do is making a difference in the world. Thank you.

Underestimated it's awesomeness.

Oct 17, 2019

This watershed model is one of my absolute favorite teaching tools. We use this at our youth camp for ages 5-14 and each age LOVES this model. There have been countless moments where something we've discussed on the model was seen within our own community and the children were the ones who identified it. It's worth it. Cleaning is really quick and easy - it's never taken more than 15 minutes and the reusable buffers last quite a long time. If you have a non-profit, give them a call to get ideas on sponsorship for one!

The kids love it!

Sep 19, 2019

I have been using the Watershed/NPS Source model for outreach at Marshall University for a few years now. The kids love it! They love it so much, in fact, that some of the small pieces have begun to disappear. Do you sell a replacement package for the items that sit on top of the table? Yes, we do ... https://www.enviroscapes.com/category/replacement-parts

Great demonstration for E-Week for over a decade!

Jun 14, 2019

Our ASCE Pittsburgh Section has used the Watershed/Nonpoint Source Model for over a decade as part of our Engineers Week and other educational outreach activities and events. We are now looking to invest in additional models (reason that I bumped into this website). Great to see this is still possible: *highly* recommend this model for young - and older - audiences.

Used the watershed model to teach the efficacy of green infrastructure to manage stormwater, plus so much more!

Mar 1, 2019

The arrival of the Watershed Enviroscape generated much excitement for us--we put it to use on Feb. 23 at a community water teach-in. Thanks for the quality product and its effectiveness. This watershed model is so much like our Western Lake Erie Basin of Northwest Ohio--and portrays the very problems with which we are dealing. Although two other agencies close to us willingly lend us their Enviroscapes, having one of our own makes it possible for us to give lessons during the school day for the four schools in our neighborhood. Adults enjoy hands-on activities as well. We used the watershed model during education sessions in our low-income community to teach the efficacy of green infrastructure to manage stormwater. This resulted in the installations of two large bio-cells which now prevent intersection, yard, and basement flooding in a 13 block area.

Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - A Model is Worth Even More

Jun 1, 2018

I'm really looking forward to using the model for the STEM4GIRLS talk! As a stormwater engineer with over 33 years of experience in municipal stormwater systems, I can attest to the power of the EnviroScape watershed model. Half the battle of gaining public support for water quality protection is explaining the problem in understandable terms. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A model is worth even more.
