The Envirothon is a hands-on, problem solving, natural resource education program for high school students, grades 9-12. Each Envirothon team, consisting of five students, are challenged to fine tune critical thinking skills and work together in order to compete at outdoor stations that test their knowledge on aquatic ecology, soils/land use, forestry, wildlife and current environmental issue training. In addition to these written tests, an oral component is in place where students present their solution to the problem given to them concerning the current issue topic for the year. The top four scoring teams of each of the five regions will advance to state competition.
