Join us in unique education experience for your high school studentsThe Vermont Envirothon mission is to connect students to the natural resources of their community. We introduce students to the local and state contacts and organizations who manage, monitor, and mentor natural and human resources. Envirothon has a focus on aquatics, forestry, soils, and wildlife with an annual topical issue that ties all Envirothon teams receive an information-filled resource guide and trainings with resource professionals. This year's specific events include a training day on April 5, 2010 at Marsh Billings Rockefeller NHP in Woodstock and the Vermont Envirothon competition on May 17, 2010 at Ohana in Fairlee. The team that scores highest in all areas at the competition will represent the state at the Canon North American Envirothon. This event will be held this year in New Brunswick, Canada at Mt. Allison University from July 24-30, 2010. We encourage registration as early as possible to provide students with enough time to become familiar with the topics. Looking for more information?
