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.
