How do we balance quality of life and quality of the environment?
Each year over 25,000 high school students across the United States, Canada, China, and Singapore embark on a journey to offer solutions to this critical question through the NCF-Envirothon!
The Envirothon® is an environmental and natural resources conservation problem-solving, leadership experience and academic competition for secondary school (high school) students (grades 9-12 or ages 14-19) across the United States, Canada, China, and Singapore. Incorporating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles, hands-on learning, and outdoor field experiences, the Envirothon fosters student learning in the areas of AQUATIC ECOLOGY, FORESTRY, SOILS and LAND USE, WILDLIFE, and CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.
Students are challenged to develop critical thinking skills to create inventive solutions to the complex local and global environmental and natural resource issues facing our world today. With Envirothon, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to educate others, inspire action in their local communities, and promote a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
The Envirothon is a program of the National Conservation Foundation (NCF) and supported by the NCF-Envirothon Operating Committee. Read more here.
