The Envirothon is an environmental competition that tests teams of five students on their knowledge of aquatics, forestry, soil, wildlife and an environmental topic. This year’s environmental topic is “Invasive Species: A Challenge to the Environment, Economy, and Society.”

Besides being tested on their knowledge of these topics, teams who compete at the state competition will also have to prepare an oral presentation on the current topic.

The first-place team at the state competition advances to the North American Envirothon Competition, which will be held in Ontario, Canada in July.
