What is Envirothon? The Virginia Dominion Energy Envirothon is a team-based natural resources competition for high school students. Students who participate learn stewardship and management concepts and work to solve real-world environmental problems.
The program is field-oriented, community-based, and gives students an opportunity to work with natural resource professionals. Teams consist of five students (plus up to two alternates) and can be created through 4-H clubs, FFA, boy/girl scout troops, or any other organizations. Natural resource professionals make tests for the teams to collaboratively work on in four categories consisting of soils, wildlife, aquatics, and forestry.
If your school, club, etc. is interested in creating an Envirothon team for 2025, reach out to Lowery or Kelly by December of 2025.
