The California Envirothon is a statewide competition for high school students that challenges students on the subjects of aquatics, soils, forestry, wildlife and a special topic that changes every year. The topic for the year 2000 is Wetlands. This year's California Envirothon Competition was held at Walker Creek Ranch in Petaluma on April 5-7, 2000. Participating districts get involved in a number of ways. They recruit teams, and provide them with curriculum and training.
Some districts also assist with fundraising to pay registration fees and transportation costs.
Costs vary from year to year depending on the destination. Registration includes includes lodging, food and competition fees. Teams must cover their own transportation costs. For more information contact your local Resource Conservation District . Also visit the Canon Envirothon website.
