 LOUISIANA ENVIROTHON 2012   


2012 Envirothon information will be announced soon.  Please check back for updates.   

Website updates in progress!!!

WHAT:  The Louisiana Envirothon is a multidisciplinary, environmental problem-solving competition for students.  Teams of five young people from the same school or associated with an organized group (i.e. FFA, 4-H, home-school groups, BSA pack) train and compete in five natural resource areas: soils and land use, aquatic resources, forestry, wildlife, and a current environmental issue. The current environmental issue for 2011 is fresh water estuaries.  There is also an oral presentation component of the competition, in which teams present a solution to an environmental problem related to the current issue. Throughout the competition students learn hands-on and in a real-life context the complexities of solving environmental problems while working as a team and having fun.  For more information about the Envirothon competition, please view the flyer: 2011 Envirothon flyer
