What is Envirothon? The Kansas Envirothon is an outdoor, environmental high school competition where students learn and are tested on soils/land use, forestry, wildlife, rangeland, aquatic ecology, a current environmental issue (changes each year), and an oral presentation (related to a scenario of the current environmental issue). Oral presentations are only at the state competition. Teams consist of five students within the same entity. Four regional competitions are typically held in Kansas, students along with their advisors choose which one to attend. The team from each school who scores the highest then attends the state competition. Winners of the state event will compete at the National Conservation Foundation's International Competition usually held in July. The location for this contest changes each year. Shawnee County Conservation District sponsors at least one team, but most likely more, each year. Kansas Envirothon Website: kacdnet.org/kansas-envirothon/ envirothon.org |
