This is our next generation of green leaders ...






















NYS State Envirothon, sponsored by the New York State Soil and Water Conservation District is designed to ...

"Test students’ knowledge and understanding of natural resource issues within New York State.
Cultivate students’ desire to learn more about our natural resources and environmental issues. 

The spirit of competition

The spirit of competition stimulates students’ interests in environmental concerns and motivates them to further develop their skills and grow into environmentally-aware, action-oriented adults.

Envirothon activities begin locally with teams of five 9th through 12th grade students competing for their County Envirothon title. Local competitions are sponsored by their Conservation Districts, with a helping hand from local environmental recreational civic groups and businesses.

County winners then move on to the state contest where their knowledge is challenged in five areas: aquatic ecology, forestry, soils & land use, wildlife, and the current environmental issue.



Our Approach
Our Story​​​​
NYS teams place high at North American Envirothon (NCF)
Once a team is chosen as State Envirothon Champion, its members
become New York State’s representatives at the North American Envirothon. 
NYS teams consistently placed in the top ten for the Canon Competition, the
predecessor to our current Envirothon. This tradition
held true for over two decades between 1990 and 2023 with one exception.

Last year we placed 8th internationally and this year we’re hoping to once
again take the gold medal, a feat last achieved in 2021.
