The Envirothon is an annual, international competition that has proven to be an exciting and useful tool for incorporating environmental education into high school classrooms.  The teams consist of five dedicated students, who compete first at the Area II Envirothon, which includes 17 counties in Northeastern Ohio.  The winners from the top four teams in each Area advance to the State Envirothon.  The top team from each State advance to the National Conservation Foundation Envirothon Competition.

  2020 State Envirothon

"Water Resources Management: Local Control and Local Solutions"

As many of you know Ohio cancelled all in person Area Envirothon competitions, as well as the State competition that was scheduled for this week at Lake Erie College. The Ohio Envirothon Committee wanted to keep our advisors and students engaged by hosting a “Virtual Envirothon”. 

Thirty teams representing 19 school districts across the state participated in an online test in late April. The six top scoring teams then developed a five minute presentation that was judged virtually this week. Of those six, the top three teams (using both the online test and presentation score) will receive awards.

The winners were announced this morning via a Zoom call and a copy of the video shared can be found here … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGzvYKngiGk

The teams that participated worked very hard. If the teams are in your area please extend your appreciation and congratulations for their efforts.

On behalf of the Ohio Envirothon Committee, please accept our thanks to everyone who participated and helped to make this year’s “Virtual Envirothon” a success. We look forward to seeing everyone next year at Lake Erie College.
