Nebraska Envirothon

The Nebraska Envirothon is a competition designed for high school students (9-12th grades) to test their knowledge about the environment. Five-member teams compete on the regional level in six areas of environmental studies: soil, aquatics, forestry, wildlife, range, and a current environmental issue (special topic). For the state competition an oral presentation on a topic selected by the NCF-Envirothon Committee is added to the testing stations.

Why take the time to organize and coach a team for this competition? More and more careers are being created that deal with the environment. This is an excellent opportunity to give your students some additional background in the environment and exposure to environmental careers.

Teams that win the Nebraska State Envirothon go on to compete for $15,000 in scholarships at the National Conservation Foundation (NCF) Envirothon hosted in July. The NCF-Envirothon is hosted in a different location each year and welcomes more than 50 teams from the U.S., Canada, China, Singapore and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
