The Palm Beach County Envirothon is a field-oriented, educational program where high school students, working in teams of five, learn to use critical thinking skills and develop problem-solving and communication skills to solve written questions or conduct hands-on investigations about environmental issues. Teams are tested in five natural resource categories: Aquatics, Soils, Forestry, Wildlife and a Current Environmental Issue. The current environmental issue changes each year. The first place Regional team advances to the State competition. The first place State team competes at the National level. The Envirothon is coordinated by the District annually. This year the District held its eighteenth annual Envirothon.
