FFA and other youth organizations can register until March 15 to compete in the 2000 Nebraska Regional Envirothon in Aurora. The statewide comprehensive environmental education program for high school students tests their knowledge of soils, aquatics, forestry, wildlife, range and current environmental issues. Regionals take place during district FFA contests. However, membership in a FFA chapter is not necessary. Winners will advance to the state competition in May at Fort Robinson.
Students can enter a five-member team or several teams for competition.
Each team needs an adult sponsor to participate. A copy of the Envirothon guide also is available to teams. FFA teams can preregister through their FFA district. Others should register with the Upper Big Blue Natural Resources District. Post your thoughts in The Public Forum.
