Area 5 Envirothon
The Ohio Area 5 Envirothon is a competitive, academic, outdoor team event for high school students which tests their knowledge in five areas: Aquatic Ecology, Current Environmental Issues (CEI), Forestry, Soils and Wildlife. The event is designed to stimulate and reinforce the students interest in our environment and our natural resources while encouraging cooperative decision making, team building and problem solving.
COVID-19 Update (4/14/2020)
To date, all of Ohio’s in-person events at the Area and State level have been cancelled. The NCF-Envirothon planned for Nebraska in late July has also been cancelled. We are, however, moving forward with an online test for teams that still want to participate. Any team that registers across the state will be taking the same test, and it will be up to teams to coordinate how they will work on the test together remotely. Nearly 30 teams sent back an ‘Intent to Participate’ for an online test. If you are a coach who hasn't completed the form for your team, you may still do so using the following link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/P3XZ2PW. Please respond BEFORE Friday, April 17.
The teams with the top score will be asked to prepare a short presentation on a scenario that will be judged (those details are still being worked out). We do plan to have prizes for the top three teams, but do not have the details on this finalized yet.
We realize that no scenario is going to be perfect, but we are trying our best to come up with a test that is engaging, educational and fun.
Thank you for your input throughout this process, and for your dedication to the Envirothon program.
