It is a large, plastic model that includes rivers, lakes, forest, farms, suburb, construction site, etc. They are developing add-on layers for illustrating other environments, such as wetlands. It comes with detailed teaching materials, and, while fairly large (about 4 ft by 4 ft), comes with a roll-around suitcase. The company is very *user-friendly* and easy to work with. They produce a users newsletter and seem to constantly be trying to improve their product and address the needs of the users. Good luck! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jane Jones x "Man is rich in Director x proportion to the Arkansas Natural & Scenic Rivers Commission x number of things 1500 Tower Building x he can afford to 323 Center Street x let alone."
