What is Envirothon
Envirothon is where high school teams of students compete in field knowledge areas including: Soils and Land Use, Aquatic Ecology, Forestry, Wildlife, and Environmental Issues.
Teams from Cameron and McKean Counties compete in the beginning of May each year for an opportunity to qualify for the state contest later on that month.
Program Goals
Program Goals
The goal of the Pennsylvania Envirothon is not only to teach environmental facts and realities, but also to instill an understanding of the ecological and community factors that are involved in environmental decisions and actions. With society facing a number of pressing environmental management issues in areas such as water quality, ecosystems, solid waste and land use, it’s important to show tomorrow’s leaders the positive and negative effects that individual actions have on the natural environment. Understanding the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources, realizing environmental interactions and inter-dependencies, and knowing where to turn for facts concerning environmental matters are all part of the Envirothon experience.
