Envirothon
The Envirothon is an outdoor, hands-on learning experience for high school students from grades 9th – 12th, put on by the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) and sponsorship from local businesses. It involved students from Norman, Polk, Mahnomen and Red Lake counties.
The Envirothon centers around five different learning stations (soils, water, forestry, wildlife, and a current events topic, each of which are staffed by professionals in that area. At each station, teams composed of 4-5 students (5 students on a team are required to attend the state competition), answer 20 questions on that subject. Since the event takes place outdoors, questions involve actual contact with natural resources. After finishing at one station, the team moves on to the next. The students will participate in an all day event from 9:30 to 1:30. The top 3 teams from each area location will be invited to participate in a State Envirothon, and the 1st place team from the state competition goes on to the national competition.
Thank you sponsors for contributing and making this event a great success!!
