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 natrual 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. To register for the Envirothon visit www.ontarioenvirothon.ca |
