Envirothon

Envirothon gets students outdoors, to experience nature first hand and hands on! Envirothon is a unique team competition that rewards students for learning about the natural world around them. Local conservation organizations partner to provide students with interactive fields trips and workshops to help them understand forests, soils, wildlife, aquatic ecosystems and the human impact on all of the things we value in nature. Envirothon uses field testing to develop critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork and communication skills.

The Envirothon is:

an interactive, curriculum based environmental education program in English and French for youth from grades 9 to 12.
is delivered through field trips, resource materials and competitions at the regional, provincial and North American level.
