Envirothon
The Envirothon is an outdoor environmental learning competition for high school students. The Envirothon promotes a desire for students to learn more about Minnesota's natural resources, as well as public policy and roles of government and landowners in managing the state's resources. The program helps students develop critical thinking skills, cooperative problem-solving skills, and decision-making skills.​​
​​​Teams of students compete by visiting five learning stations and taking a 20-point exam on an environmental topic. The topics are:
-
Aquatics,
-
Forestry,
-
Soils,
-
Wildlife, and
-
Current events, which is a new topic each year.
​
Teams compete at an Area Envirothon, and the top 3 teams from each area advance to the State Envirothon.
Junior Envirothon
Our area also has a Junior Envirothon for students in grades 6-8. Participating students go to all of the same learning stations, but they do not give an oral presentation.
