CONNECTICUT ENVIROTHON

Envirothon is an extracurricular natural resource based education program for high school students. During the school year, teams of students receive study materials and are invited to a series of training workshops on Soils, Aquatics, Wildlife, Forestry and a Current Environmental Issue. These Saturday workshops are presented by professional foresters, soil scientists, aquatic ecologists, wildlife biologists, and many others that volunteer their time. Students benefit from working with their peers and meeting people who work in a broad range of environmental careers. Teachers also benefit from the educational materials they can use in their environmental education classes and find the program a source of networking and professional growth. Each spring, these teams complete in a statewide competition. The winning team represents CT at the national North American Envirothon during the summer where it historically has placed in the top 10 teams.



The Connecticut Envirothon relies on the generous contribution of funds and in-kind services to support its yearly programs of student workshops, teacher resources, and the annual field event.


These donations allow us to provide a variety of resource based high quality educational programming to high school students and teachers.

Recent and continuing reductions in state and federal funding have left the future of this program in peril, at a time when program benefits are vital.

We actively seek new contributors and sponsors at both the corporate and individual level to get involved in the largest environmentally-based education program in the country.  CT Envirothon is a 501-c-3 organization.
