Kansas Envirothon

The Kansas Envirothon is an outdoor, environmental high school competition where students learn and are tested on soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatics and a current issue. Each County is allowed to send one team of five high school students to the state competition. Franklin County currently does not have any schools participating in the Envirothon program; but a team could be started!  Other counties have worked through local FFA Chapters to gather a team since many of the curriculum areas are similar.  The winner of the Kansas Envirothon will represent Kansas at the Canon Envirothon.  The Canon Envirothon is organized in cooperation with the National Association of Conservation Districts and The Canadian Forestry Association the Canon Envirothon is an annual competition in which winning teams compete for recognition and scholarships by demonstrating their knowledge of environmental science and natural resource management.  For more information log onto http://www.kacdnet.org/kansasenvirothon.
