The Envirothon competition stimulates students’ interests in environmental concerns and motivates them to further develop their skills and grow into environmentally-aware, action-oriented adults.

Envirothon activities begin locally, with teams of five 9th through 12th grade students competing for their Regional Envirothon title.

Teams consist of 5 students with 1 alternate, and schools may enter more than 1 team. Teams are required to have an advisor and pay the $75 registration fee, and each team member must submit a permission slip with their application. 

Breakfast and Lunch will be provided and are included in the registration fee.
