Envirothon

2008 NCW Regional Envirothon was held at Badger Mt Ski Hill on Wednesday, May 7th!

Congratulations to the Quincy team for coming in First Place!

 

Waterville team contemplates a test question at the 2008 Envirothon.

The Canon Envirothon is an annual competition in which winning state/provincial teams compete for recognition and scholarships by demonstrating their knowledge of environmental science and natural resource management. The teams, each consisting of five high school-aged students from participating US States and Canadian Provinces, exercise their training and problem-solving skills in a competition centered on four universal testing categories (i.e., soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, and wildlife) and a current environmental issue.

High schools from around North Central Washington compete every spring at the regional level.  These include Mansfield and Bridgeport HS in the Foster Creek District.  South Douglas Conservation District includes Eastmont (with East Wenatchee, Orondo, Rock Island and Palisades) and Waterville HS.  Cascadia CD (formerly Chelan County CD) and Okanogan CD complete the NCW group.  The winning team from the NCW area travels to the state contest.  For additional information please contact us for time and location.
