The EnviroScape Program currently consists of EnviroScape II (nonpoint source pollution), Wetlands, Hazardous Waste, and Landfill models, a Riparian Kit, and Groundwater Component. It also includes Instructional Videos and curriculum.

To meet your organization's needs cost effectively, the EnviroScape Program is truly mix and match--and easily customized. EnviroScape II, Wetlands and Hazardous Materials models are available as stand-alone deluxe units (with or without a case) or as add-ons. Deluxe Units include a landscape map, clear base and all accessories needed for a demonstration. Add-ons include a landscape map and select accessories that can be used with a deluxe unit's clear base and general accessories such as houses, cars, trees and spray bottle.

For instance, if your organization wants to teach others about nonpoint source pollution and wetlands issues, you can purchase an EnviroScape II deluxe unit and Wetlands add-on. Everything will fit in one case and the two scenarios will share accessories and the clear base. However, it you want to teach about nonpoint source pollution at your local school and wetlands issues at a town meeting (at the same time) you need to purchase both deluxe kits for EnviroScape II and Wetlands.

The Groundwater Component and the Riparian Kit can be used with any of the scenarios -- EnviroScape II, Wetlands, Hazardous Materials or Landfill.

The Deluxe Heavy-Duty Carrying Case will expand to hold up to two landscape maps and the groundwater component, along with a deluxe unit. However, we do not advise shipping it this way. The Deluxe Carrying Case has wheels for easy transport.

EnviroScape Stand-alone Deluxe Units
and Add-ons

These deluxe units include everything you need for a demonstration--except the water! All deluxe units are approximately 25" X 30" X 5" and are easy to use and clean. Also included in each unit is a user's guide with glossary, which provides easy-to-use guidelines to aid an instructor, group leader or facilitator in presenting a demonstration. Units are available with or without the heavy-duty carrying case with wheels.


EnviroScape II DELUXE Unit with case [$829]
EnviroScape II (the newest version of the original EnviroScape model) discusses nonpoint source pollution and the steps everyone can take to help prevent it. It is also good for discussion about overall watershed concepts. Areas on the landscape map include: construction site, residential, recreation (golf course), mountains (forested), industry (factory and water treatment plant), agriculture and transportation. EnviroScape II teaches the watershed concept in addition to point and nonpoint source pollution. Two waterways flow into a larger water body, which is representative of a lake, river, bay, or ocean. The model is packed in a durable carrying case with wheels, ideal for transporting locally or shipping. The easy-to-use model (approximately 25" x 30" x 5"), comes complete with a kit containing everything you need to demonstrate the movement of water through a watershed and the pollution that runoff may cause: cocoa, and powdered drink mixes, felt vegetation swatches, clay berms, and props such as miniature vehicles, trees and cows.

The EnviroScape II Deluxe unit contains everything you need (but the water!) plus extras. This unit which can be shipped or carried, comes complete with a heavy duty carrying case with wheels, houses, barn, factory, drain pipe, treatment plant, trees, golf flags, cows, cars and best management practices such as buffer strips, clay berms, manure container, and fencing. Even includes soil and chemicals (cocoa and drink mixes). Also includes the bridges, watercatcher, rainmaker, water plug, User's Guide and Handle with Care published by the Terrene Institute. Perfect for the user who is new to EnviroScape and plans to share it with others or move it from place to place.

Landfill Deluxe Unit with Case [$899]
Special pre-release price through September 30, 1997 [$769.00]
EnviroScape's Landfill model shows how modern landfill systems differ from the "dumps" of the past. The model consists of an older style landfill of the past and a modern landfill cell of today that includes recycling as an important element. We all make trash -- landfills will always be needed to accept trash that cannot be recycled or converted. EnviroScape Landfill is a wonderful tool for helping people of all ages understand how a landfill works, and how they differ from landfills of the past.

The Landfill Deluxe Unit contains everything you need (but the water!). This unit, which can be shipped or carried, comes complete with a heavy duty carrying case, landfill landscape map, clear base, buildings, and accessories. The modern landfill cell consists of five trays that gradually decrease in size to allow for a cutaway view of a landfill cell. The trays represent the aquifer (base or groundwater unit), layers of trash, and collection systems of modern landfills. Rain is simulated on an active landfill cell on the model, so the viewer can follow the flow of the rain through the solid waste. The leachate is collected and then recirculated from the tanks back through the trash or transported from the tanks to a wastewater treatment plant (the treatment plant is not actually shown on the model.) Solid waste is represented with sponges and the leachate collection pumps and wells are represented with clear tubing and spray pumps. A landfill cover is also provided to show how rain flows off the impermeable cover or "cap" to stormwater retention areas.

Although not required, we strongly recommend using EnviroScape's groundwater component with the Landfill model.

Groundwater Component [$149]
EnviroScape's Groundwater Component provides basic demonstrations on how groundwater works, how we use groundwater, how we pollute groundwater and how we can prevent and clean up groundwater contamination. It covers the basics and is not intended for use as a highly technical demonstration.

The new and improved Groundwater Component features a durable plastic liner with a silk- screened depiction of unsaturated/saturated soils, aquifer and bedrock layers that replaces the need for marbles and foam pieces used with the original groundwater component. The water channel (where the layers are silk-screened) is also smaller to reduce the amount of water needed for demonstration. This component is easier to use and clean than the original groundwater component -- and it can be used with all EnviroScape scenarios.

In addition to the upgraded, durable liner that inserts into the EnviroScape base, the component comes with private wells and pumps (clear tubing and spray pumps) and an abandoned well (clear tubing), and Supplementary User's Guide.

Riparian Kit [$135]
EnviroScape's Riparian Kit addresses the benefits and values of riparian buffers - areas including trees and other vegetation adjacent to the banks of streams, rivers and lakes. The kit's supplementary guide explores the positive effects of good riparian buffers as well as activities that contribute to poor riparian buffer zones. Positive effects include cooler water temperatures and shading for in-stream organisms (canopy cover); reduced volume and rate of flooding (water infiltration); food sources for in-stream organisms (protective habitat); streambank stabilization (erosion control); sediment trapping and nutrient removal (plant root systems); and recreational corridors.

The Riparian Kit contains components for a complete demonstration of how riparian buffers affect water quality, quantity and flow. Each kit contains 40 trees (20 round and 20 tall), shrubs, clay, assorted roots, flashlight and Supplementary User's Guide. Can be used with all EnviroScape scenarios.

We are pleased to offer the Air & Waste Management Association's Environmental Resource Guide (ERG) Nonpoint Source Pollution Prevention series as a great curriculum to use with EnviroScape. The series explores the impact of land use on the quality of water. Topics include landfills, fertilizers, pesticides and erosion. Each ERG includes approximately 15 lessons with clearly stated educational objectives, background information, preparation instructions, hands-on activities and extension activities, which are designed to be integrated with general science, language arts, math, social studies and art curricula.

Lessons center on activities and class participation that make the information memorable and teach students what they can do on their own to help protect the environment. The activities are also designed to develop critical thinking skills, including observation, comparison, analysis and problem solving.

All lessons have undergone rigorous technical review by environmental experts to ensure a sound scientific basis and all activities have been field tested by teachers. Prices include shipping and handling.

Prices may change without notice.
