Thank you to the Walmart Community Grants Team!

We are excited to announce that we have received a grant of $1,000 from Walmart! The grant will be used to help purchase an EnviroScape educational model for the Portsmouth AgInnovation Farm.

An EnviroScape model is a “3-D self-contained mini watershed. It allows students to observe and simulate, in real-time, the interactions of precipitation with various land-use practices and the impacts they have on streams, lakes, water supplies, and groundwater. An EnviroScape model allows you to simulate many sources of both point and nonpoint source pollution, create floods, pave over a field here, plant a buffer there and see what happens.”

We can’t wait to bring the model to classrooms to teach our students about the impact we each have on the environment and how we can each work to make a difference.

Thank you to Walmart for your support!
