What is the NH Envirothon?

Each year, teams of five students work together to gain skills and knowledge in NH ecology.  Throughout the program, students develop effective teamwork, resource management and ecology. At the same time, they gain valuable exposure to a range of disciplines and possible career paths.

​

The Envirothon Competition is a cross-curriculum adventure, impacting the sciences as well as history and cultural studies.  Student leadership is encouraged. The NHE, conservation districts, and various natural resource agencies and organizations assist in educator support and student learning.

 

Some educators involve a whole class, while most advise teams of five members as a club or after school activity. The NHE is open to all high school students, and grades 6-8. Teams may be sponsored by a school, home-school group, agricultural association, scout, or community service group.  

​

A skill-based academic competition state test is held each May.  Teams are evaluated on skills and knowledge in aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife and the current environmental issue. Winning teams from each participating state and province advance to the National Conservation Foundation Envirothon (NCFE) to compete for international recognition, scholarships and prizes. ​

​

Since 1991, the NH Envirothon has supported student growth and inquiry in Environmental Science, Natural Resource conservation, and STEM education under the direction of the NH Association of Conservation Districts (NHACD).
