Lead Summary

Hannah Hopkins-
On April 26, five members of the Hillsboro FFA attended the tri-county Envirothon competition at Rocky Fork Lake.
The team consisted of five freshman FFA members, which were Alex McClarren, Gavin Brown, Corbin Winkle, Addyston Knauff and Ava Campbell.
This event was a joint project by the Adams, Brown, and Highland Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Students were tested on forestry, wildlife, aquatics, and soils knowledge and identification.
For this competition, students learned the concepts of different waste streams and the impacts of waste generation and disposal on natural resources and society. Students also learned effective ways to manage waste regeneratively, as well as the social, economic and political impacts of turning waste products and degraded lands into resources.
“The things I learned really opened my eyes to what is happening in the world around me,” Knauff said.
