Envirothon |
||
|
In 1979, Pennsylvania held the first Environmental Olympics, and
over the years, the event has gained popularity across the U.S. In
1990, New York State held its first Envirothon competition.
Students’ knowledge of natural resource management and environmental
science is tested at the annual Envirothon held every May at the
HCSWCD’s Nature Trail. High school teams consisting of 5 students
are tested in the following areas: soils/land use, aquatic ecology,
forestry, wildlife, and a current environmental issue. They have the
opportunity to utilize problem solving techniques and knowledge
gained during training and study sessions to answer questions. The
winning team of the local competition competes at the New York State
Envirothon in May.
