School Program – Envirothon

What is Envirothon?
Envirothon is an outdoor competition for high school students that engages them with the environment and natural resources. Students compete as a team to demonstrate their collective knowledge in five categories: Soils, Wildlife, Forestry, Aquatics, and Current Environmental Issues.
