Envirothon
The Envirothon is a
national, academic, outdoor competition for
high school students, which is designed to stimulate, reinforce and enhance
interest in the environment and natural resources. The Envirothon tests
students' knowledge of natural resources in five categories: soils,
wildlife, forestry, aquatics, and current environmental issues. Students
compete through team problem solving activities. While each student on an
Envirothon team is challenged to contribute his or her personal best, the score
that counts at the end of an Envirothon is the team score.
Five Area Envirothons are conducted around Ohio late each spring. The top four teams from each of these Area competitions progress to the Ohio Envirothon in June. This state level contest is held in a different part of Ohio each year. The top-scoring team in the Ohio Envirothon is eligible to compete in the National Envirothon, hosted by a different state every year. If you would like to start an Envirothon team at your school, please contact Beth Landers at the District office.
The 2006 theme will be "Water Stewardship in a Changing Climate"
More information on the theme and the learning objectives can be found on the Canon Envirothon web site
Area 2 Envirothon will be held in Lake County on May 3rd, 2006. Further details will be posted on this site.
