Team Wolf Pack from the Coshocton County Career Center took first place in the Virtual Area 3 Envirothon. Eight teams participated from Coshocton County with three teams placing in the top 10 (Wild Wolves CCCC (sixth) and Ridgewood (eighth).
The Envirothon competition tests students’ knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology, and current environmental issues (CEI). This year’s national CEI theme is Water Resource Management-Local Control and Local Solutions. While each student on a team is challenged to contribute his or her personal best, the score that counts at the end of the contest is the team score. Envirothon teams are comprised of five high school students.
The Ohio Envirothon will be held virtually, June 14-16. Online testing will take place on June 14, with oral presentations in front of a panel of judges via Zoom on June 15 and 16. The top three teams will receive awards with the top team advancing to the NFC Envirothon, hosted virtually by Nebraska beginning July 26.
Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Districts coordinate and host this annual event.
