Envirothon
Nebraska's high school competition focusing on the environment.
The Envirothon is one of the fastest growing competitions for high school students in the nation. Students get together in groups of five and compete against other teams to prove their knowledge of wildlife, soils, forestry, water, range, and environmental policy.
The winning team of this annual contest is selected to represent the metro area at the Nebraska State Environthon Competition in May.
