Watershed education at local schools! The Land Trust's stewardship team visited five environmental science classes in Middletown and Portsmouth to educate students about open spaces and watersheds. After the presentations, students got hands-on with our Watershed model, where the effects of different pollutants funneling into the watershed are demonstrated clearly. Thank you for having us!
