Envirothon North America Competition

The Envirothon North America Competition, organized by NCF-Envirothon, is a team-based environmental science program for high school students interested in ecology, natural resources, and environmental problem-solving. Participants study four core areas—soils, forestry, wildlife, and aquatic ecology—and apply their knowledge through hands-on field tests and a team presentation. The program emphasizes real-world scenarios, asking students to analyze environmental challenges and propose practical, science-based solutions.

This program is well suited for students who enjoy STEM subjects, outdoor learning, and collaborative projects. It can be especially valuable for those considering majors in environmental science, biology, forestry, wildlife management, marine or freshwater science, or related fields. Participation can strengthen college applications by demonstrating:

• Advanced engagement with STEM and environmental science
• Experience working in a team-based, competitive academic setting
• Skills in research, data interpretation, and public speaking
• Commitment to sustainability and resource conservation

Students typically prepare through school-based or community teams, guided by advisors or mentors. More information on eligibility, team structure, and the pathway from local and state/provincial events to the North American competition is available on the program website.
