Alabama Envirothon Program
The Alabama Envirothon is an environmental and natural resources problem-solving competition that builds leadership skills for high school and middle school students.
Hosted by the Alabama Association of Conservation Districts, participating teams are trained and tested in five natural resource categories: Soils/Land Use, Aquatic Ecology, Wildlife, Forestry and an annually chosen Current Environmental Issue.
The program consists of in-class curriculum with hands-on outdoor field experiences where students can learn natural resource management principles and techniques from professionals. State competition winners advance to the annual NCF-Envirothon international competition where they have the opportunity to compete against teams from across the United States, China, Canada, and Singapore.
The Alabama Envirothon works in partnership with local conservation districts, agricultural, forestry, conservation organizations, and schools to organize and conduct training and competitions.
