A five-member team of high school students work together to compete on five environmental topics.  They are tested on their knowledge of Soils, Aquatics, Forestry, Wildlife, and Current Issues.  They also give a 5-minute oral presentation on a problem solving scenario related to the year's current issue topic. The primary goal of the Envirothon is to learn about the natural environment we live in so as to become stewards of the land.  In preparation for the event, students develop research skills, practice team building, and gain an appreciation for consensus decision making.

The Hudson Valley Regional Envirothon incorporates schools from ten counties including: Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster, Sullivan, and Westchester. The HV Regional Envirothon takes place yearly in April at  Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill, NY. The highest scoring school from each county advances to the New York State Envirothon. 

There is no cost to the students, parents, or schools to participate, outside of providing the necessary transportation to the event site.  For more information about the program contact Chelsea Benson  at 518-828-4386 x 3.

Any high school within the ten county region is welcome to register. Please submit the forms to Michele Lindsay either by email, fax, or mail. 
Registration deadline is March 30, 2012.
