Envirothon finals
BANGOR – The State Envirothon finals were held at the McDougal Orchards in Springvale. The Maine Association of Conservation Districts awarded plaques to the three top-scoring high school Envirothon teams. The first-, second- and third-place winning teams respectively were: Cony High School Team A, Hampden Academy, Bonny Eagle High School. Fifteen teams representing 13 high schools around the state competed.
The major objective of Envirothon is to provide opportunities for high school students to acquire and increase their outdoor skills and scientific knowledge about Maine’s natural resources so that they can make informed, educated decisions about the environment.
It provides students with reference materials, workshops, and hands-on, outdoor, real-life experiences in five areas, including forestry, wildlife, soils, aquatics and a current issue, this year water stewardship in a changing climate.
Area high schools competing included Dirigo of Dixfield, Edward Little of Auburn and Jay.
An Envirothon Web site for all interested teachers and students is available at www.envirothon.org or http://maineswcds.org.
