Area 5 envirothon
What is Envirothon?
The ENVIROTHON competition is designed to stimulate, reinforce, and enhance interest in our environment and our natural resources among high school students. The Envirothon tests students' knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology, and current environmental issues. In addition, the Envirothon encourages cooperative decision-making and team building. While each student on an Envirothon team is challenged to contribute his or her personal best, the score that counts at the end of an Envirothon is the team score.
A team consists of a max of five students, all from the same high school. An adult advisor (or advisors) must accompany the team to the competition, but is not permitted to assist the team during the competition. Each high school can have up to 3 total teams compete in the Area V Envirothon.
Five "Area Envirothons" are conducted around Ohio late each spring. The top four teams from each of these Area competitions progress to the Ohio Envirothon in June. The Ohio Envirothon is a 2-day event, incorporating a team presentation requirement that further challenges all participating students. The state level Ohio Envirothon is held in a different part of Ohio each year. The top-scoring team in the Ohio Envirothon is eligible to compete in the North American Envirothon, hosted by a different state or Canadian province every year.
