The Envirothon Concept

Young minds love a challenge. The idea of matching wits with their peers excites and inspires teenagers.

Established as a competitive, multi-disciplinary, problem-solving, natural resource event for high school students to challenge their environmental knowledge, the Envirothon program encourages students to pursue environmental knowledge actively. Thousands of high school students have met the challenge about the natural world and their environment. They are wiser and more concerned about their environment because of their education and competition.

Team sponsors and coaches train and test students in five natural resource areas: soils, aquatics, forestry, wildlife, and a current environmental issue such as wetlands management, groundwater, fire, or pesticides.
