Long Island Regional Envirothon Website

"Long Island's premier environmental studies program for high school students in Nassau and Suffolk Counties."
Hosted by the Nassau and Suffolk County Soil and Water Conservation Districts.

The Envirothon® is an environmental and natural resource conservation problem-solving, teambuilding and leadership experience and competition for high school students (grades 9-12 or ages 14-19) across the United States, Canada, and China. Incorporating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles, experiential learning, and hands-on outdoor field experiences, the Envirothon fosters student learning in the five subject areas of:   Aquatics, Forestry, Soils, Wildlife, and a Current Environmental Issue which changes annually. 

 

This Year's Current Issue is "Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future" 

 

The Long Island Regional Envirothon event will be held on 04/17/2024 at the USDAN campus 

 

The winning team from Nassau and Suffolk county will move on to participate in the NYS Envirothon.

 

Additionally each member of the winning team from Nassau and Suffolk County will receive a scholarship of $500! 

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.
