2025 Regional Envirothon Competition
The 2025 Regional Envirothon will take place on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025 (with Wednesday, May 7th reserved as a weather backup date).
What is the Envirothon?
The Envirothon is an immersive, hands-on environmental competition that challenges students to demonstrate their knowledge of our natural world. Rather than traditional classroom testing, students engage directly with natural resources in an outdoor setting, making this a unique and enriching educational experience.
​
Competition Format
Teams of five students rotate through five learning stations, spending approximately 25 minutes at each:
-
Soils
-
Wildlife
-
Water Resources
-
Forestry
-
Current Environmental Issues
Each station is staffed by subject matter experts who evaluate the teams' knowledge through practical, hands-on questions and activities.
​
Oral Presentation Component
Teams will also participate in an oral presentation challenge. In February, teams will receive a real-world environmental scenario to research and analyze. They will have until April to prepare their response and develop a comprehensive presentation.
During the competition, each team will deliver their 7-10 minute presentation addressing the scenario. This presentation topic will align with the State Envirothon competition, providing excellent preparation for teams advancing to the next level.
