Gently Down the Stream

Can you distinguish a healthy stream from an un-healthy one? Do you know why stormwater run- off is such a huge threat to our waterways? Can you explain why marshes and wetlands need to be protected? If you've answered "no" to any of these questions, a little bit of enviroscaping may give you some answers. Join us as we become environmental engineers and play with a miniature watershed to learn about where our water goes, how it gets polluted and how we can keep our streams beautiful.
