Area Envirothon
The Envirothon consists of five outdoor learning stations including soils, wildlife, water resources, forestry and current environmental issues. Teams include 3-5 high school students that compete on the environmental subjects. Each team has approximately 25 minutes at each station, where they work together to answer the questions asked by the natural resource professional. Each team is also responsible for a ten minute oral presentation about the current environmental issue.
The Area 7 Envirothon is sponsored by the 11 county SE Minnesota Soil and Water Conservation Districts (Freeborn,
Mower, Fillmore, Houston, Winona, Olmsted, Dodge, Rice, Wabasha, Goodhue and Steele). The top three teams go on to
compete at the state level and then the top team at the state will compete at the
national level.
The 2007 Area 7 Envirothon will be held on May 2nd at Camp Winnebago near Caledonia.
