What is Envirothon?

Envirothon is an exciting event in which teams of five high school aged students exercise their environmental training and problem-solving skills in a competition centered on four universal testing categories (i.e., soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, and wildlife) and a current environmental issue. Team members experience the world in which we live through environment education, hands-on activities, including current and up-to-date issues.  The Olympic style competitive nature of some aspects of the program affords participants an opportunity to travel, learn, experience, and compete provincially and internationally. Envirothon helps to prepare our young people (tomorrow's leaders) to better understand and influence the world in which they live, regardless of the path chosen.

We challenge you to become involved with the Envirothon Program!

 Who can compete?

A team consists of five students and one Advisor/Teacher from the same school.  In order to participate in Envirothon, the Advisory/Teacher must register the team  (See Team Registration for deadlines).   There will be a limit of 20 teams for this years competition.

What is involved?

Envirothon is a great time to learn about soils, land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, wildlife, and a current environmental issue. In the fall, registered teams will receive a series of materials and CD.  Students will study the supplied materials to prepare for the event.  These materials will contain all of the information needed to answer the questions on the Trail Test and the Oral Competition.
