HANDBOOK FOR 2018-19 ENVIROTHON:
The Envirothon is the ultimate environmental education experience. Participants must, over the course of several months of study, prepare themselves for testing in these five areas:
- Soils/land use
- Aquatic ecology
- Wildlife
- Forestry
- The year’s current environmental issue – Agriculture and the Environment – Knowledge and technology to feed the world
Designed to foster cooperation and teamwork, five-member teams are tested not only on their knowledge in the topic areas, but also on their ability to apply that knowledge to solve real-life problems. Problem-solving and teamwork are skills that will enhance the participants’ ability to take leadership roles after high school or college, no matter what their chosen field or career.
