​
What is the Envirothon?
Envirothon in which teams compete in 5 environmental learning stations (soils, wildlife, water resources, forestry, and a current environmental issue).
​
Natural resource professionals staff the stations and provide a short presentation on a natural resources topic, which is then followed by a test taken by the teams.
​
The top three teams advance to the State Envirothon Competition and winners at the State level advance to the National Envirothon where they compete for scholarships and other prizes.
