The Envirothon uses the outdoors as an alternative to classroom learning. In this natural setting, students become aware of the many environmental problems that exist today. Working as a team, they learn to use critical thinking and problem solving skills to arrive at solutions to specific environmental problems.

It’s about making teaching fun!

The Envirothon encourages "hands-on" learning. Students learn many interesting facts but, more importantly, learn to listen to various viewpoints to solve problems. They also have the opportunity to learn from a variety of environmental education professionals. This offers great opportunities for career counseling "in the field."

It’s about changing attitudes!

The best way to promote positive behaviors is to promote positive attitudes. That’s the key to a successful Envirothon. Teaching positive attitudes about the world around us has a ripple effect which spreads through communities and benefits the total environment.

It’s about preserving our future!

Today’s students are tomorrow’s homeowners, consumers and decision-makers. Teachers are faced with the critical job of preparing students to make the best choices about our natural resources. The Envirothon offers a unique approach to help teachers accomplish this task. Using current information on environmental issues, teachers can prepare students to make educated decisions about the world around them.
