Vermont Envirothon

Hands-on natural resource education for Vermont high school students

The Vermont Envirothon is a state-wide competition where high school students put their knowledge of forestry, wildlife, soils and water resources to the test. The team that demonstrates the greatest overall knowledge is selected to represent Vermont at the North American Envirothon event held this upcoming year 2023 in New Brunswick, Canada. Over 2,000 Vermont students have participated in Envirothon since it began in 1996. We hope your school might join us in 2023 by registering a team.

Envirothon provides an opportunity for students to participate in hands-on STEM learning and connect with professionals in the fields of soil & water conservation, wildlife, forestry and agriculture. Some science teachers have chosen to incorporate studying for the Envirothon into their curriculum, while other coaches use the event as an opportunity to strengthen the public speaking skills of their students.

Teams are composed of five students in grades 9-12 coordinated by one coach, typically a teacher or parent. A training day will be offered on April 5th 2023 at the Billings Farm and Museum and Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park and the Vermont competition will take place May16th 2023 at Shelburne Farms. We plan to host these events in person outdoors and will be monitoring COVID safety guidelines closely as the event days approach.

Each coach will receive a packet of digital and print resources to help them prepare. Each participant will receive a complimentary t-shirt.

For more information about the event please visit: https://envirothon.org. We only ask for contact information for the coach at time of registration, so coaches still have time to recruit team members !
