Discover a Watershed Series


 

    DISCOVER A WATERSHED: THE EVERGLADES

Developed for formal and nonformal educators (classroom teachers, parents, ranger/naturalists, museum staff) of middle and high school students (and beyond!), this comprehensive guide is divided into three parts: a reference section that includes the natural and human history of the watershed; contemporary issues and potential solutions; and learning activities. Build a model of the Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades watershed; plot a hurricane and predict if it will make landfall; or simulate a restoration project by trying to put the pieces back together again. Explore a unique and endangered watershed where unprecedented solutions are being tested. Cost $15.95.
