Funded by: Point Lookout Farmlife Foundation and Water Preserve Foundation.
This program at Point Lookout Preserve exposes students and teachers to new ways of thinking about landscapes and stream ecosystems through the creative process of art and science.
Programs combine watershed science, artistic expression, canoeing, and introductions to the art of the Brandywine Valley with a special focus on the art, country farm and forest of the Wyeth family. The Science of Water Through the World of Art has expanded in scope to include programs that have been offered across the United States.
