The Envirothon is a program for high school students to learn more about our natural environment. The spirit of competition motivates athletes, drives successful businesses and stimulates new ideas. The Envirothon tests the student's knowledge on topics such as soils, water resources, forestry, wildlife and current environmental issues. The Envirothon experience is a unique approach to environmental education.
Teams compete in an outdoor setting where they learn that cooperation is needed to achieve success.
Participation in this competition can be great fun for both students and their advisors. The activities are designed to help the students become environmentally aware, action-oriented adults. Each spring, local Envirothons are held in outdoor settings across New York State. The winning team from each county then goes on to represent it's county at the New York State Envirothon. The winner of the state competition will represent New York State at the National Envirothon.
