A Free Stormwater Education Program for St. Louis City
and County schools within MSD Project Clear Service Area
The MSDPC Clean Water Education program is presented by
Missouri Botanical Garden’s EarthWays Center in partnership
with the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Project Clear.
Stormwater and the health of our nearby rivers, creeks, and streams are ever-increasing challenges in our
community—and it takes all of us to help! The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Project Clear (MSDPC)
Clean Water Education program provides educators throughout the MSD Project Clear service area with
resources to help bring this topic to life in their classroom through hands-on demonstrations, action
projects, and more.
Learn: Reserve a Watershed EnviroScape® Model for Your Classroom
The EnviroScape® is a visual, hands-on tool that shows how water
pollution can result from everyday activities.
• Reservation and use of the model is FREE!
• EarthWays Center staff will drop-off and pick-up the model.
• Staff will provide FREE training and teaching aids on how to use the
model with your class.
• Explore the connections between human impact and Earth.
• Discuss ways to reduce the impact of water pollution on rivers, creeks
and streams.
Take Action: Engage Students with the Storm Drain Marking
Take it one step further and engage your students in an action project that
benefits your community! We provide all the tools and equipment your
group needs to help put knowledge into action.
MSDPC’s Storm Drain Marker Program provides a visible reminder of
the impacts of improper waste disposal and helps communicate to the
community that storm drains can carry pollution to rivers and streams.
This is a great hands-on project for schools, scouts, and community
groups that want to make a difference now!
Participation is FREE and program provides all necessary supplies for
a successful project.
