Garden club donates tool to museum

January 9, 2009

The Hampton Roads Garden Club has given an EnviroScape interactive watershed/nonpoint source pollution teaching model to the Virginia Living Museum.

The model is a visual demonstration that the environmental choices we make in our own homes every day can have a positive or negative effect on the ecology.

Museum science educators will use the EnviroScape to visually demonstrate how pollutants that people unthinkingly use or discard every day, such as lawn fertilizers, pesticides and used motor oil, eventually make their way into and affect the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
