What is Envirothon?

Envirothon is a great learning experience and fun academic event for Bradford County elementary, high school, and private school students. It allows students to think critically about the environment by understanding our world's diverse ecosystems and their roles in it. ​ Envirothon combines in-class curriculum and outdoor training, helping students learn more about aquatic ecology, forestry, soil and land use, wildlife and current environmental issues.

The importance of Envirothon

  • Envirothon fosters students' awareness of the entire environment and develop a sensitivity towards its finite natural resources.

  • Envirothon assists students in gaining a fundamental grasp of the earth's ecological systems and the interdependence between humanity and these systems.
 
  • Envirothon cultivates attention and emotions for environmental concerns, while also inspiring the motivation and dedication to engage in activities aimed at environmental protection.
​
  • Envirothon aids students in acquiring the skills necessary to recognize, explore, and contribute to solving environmental issues and challenges.
