The Envirothon is America's leading natural resource education program for high school students. Teams comprised of five students represent their school or organization in a statewide competition testing their knowledge of: aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and current environmental issues.

The Massachusetts Envirothon stresses the interdependence of various natural resources within the environment, emphasizes hands-on, team-oriented problem solving and community involvement. There are opportunities throughout the year to receive resource materials for use in the classroom, to attend workshops geared to both teachers and students, and catch to environmental professionals in action.

Thank you MassCorr! This year the Massachusetts Department of Corrections donated bat houses for coaches to place at their schools. Bats are suffering a serious decline, and providing homes for these gentle shy creatues is one way to help them. Click here for more information.
