This capacity building project provided training and created web-based resources that helped educators effectively integrate FieldScope, a digital mapping tool, into their own meaningful watershed education experiences (MWEE). The resources were collaboratively developed by ALESE and National Geographic staff along with other regional partners, and was supported by NOAA (NOAA NA10NMF4570053).
