CT Envirothon

Connecticut Envirothon is a natural resource based education program that was started in 1992 by the state’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts.

High School Students work in teams led by a teacher/advisor. During the school year, teams receive curriculum materials and are invited to a series of training workshops in the Envirothon Study Areas of Soils, Aquatics, Wildlife, Forestry and a Current Environmental Issue. These workshops are presented by foresters, soil scientists, aquatic ecologists, wildlife biologists, and many others. Students really benefit from meeting people working in a broad range of environmental careers. Teachers also benefit and find the program a wonderful source of networking and professional growth for their own careers.
