Envirothon Competition
Each year, volunteer advisers work with teams of students, supported by local conservation districts, forestry associations, and various natural resource organizations. Students are tested on their knowledge in five key areas: aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and current environmental issues.
Through the program, participants gain critical teamwork, resource management, and ecological skills, while also exploring potential career paths in the environmental sector.
Top-performing teams from each state and province advance to the
National Conservation Foundation Envirothon (NCFE), where they compete for national recognition, scholarships, and prizes.
The Envirothon Competition is a dynamic, cross-disciplinary experience that goes beyond science, integrating elements of history and cultural studies. The program is open to all high school students, and teams may be formed by schools, homeschool groups, agricultural associations, scout troops, or community service organizations. Teachers, home-school parents, scout leaders, and group mentors can help build teams, whether as part of a class, club, or after-school activity.
