The
Envirothon is a comprehensive environmental education program for 9th-12th grade
students, which tests students' knowledge on soils, aquatics, forestry,
wildlife, range public policy and a special topic: There
are no limits on the number of teams from each school taking part in the
regional contest. The regional
competition is during FFA districts, however, FFA membership is not a
