Envirothon is a competition involving many teams from schools all around this area. Each team must give a 10 minute presentation on the chosen scenario for this year. The chosen scenario for this year involved creating a grazing management plan and answering questions on grazing.
Teams also participate in tests in five different categories: aquatics, forestry, wildlife, soils, and current events. Students were also able to learn more about each of these categories from experts that were running the stations. After completing tests in all five categories, students were given lunch and awards were presented.
