Linda Schier, using an Enviroscape from the UNH Marine Docents, assists two of the many students who stopped by to learn about water pollution. The Enviroscape is a hands-on learning tool used to teach that the effects of rainfall on land that has been clear-cut, over-fertilized, salted, or contaminated with pesticides and toxic chemicals results in pollution to our water bodies.
Carol Lafond, Marge Kimball and Linda Schier along with Don Chapman and Pat Theisen answered questions and handed out material to the Pride Day crowds. In addition to the Enviroscape, the booth contained a large map of the watersheds in the alliance, informational brochures describing our purpose and goals, before and after pictures of erosion problems solved by a Maine YCC.
