Description: Envirothon is a program for junior high students designed to cultivate a desire to learn more about their natural environment through a competitive event. At Envirothon competition, students test their knowledge of wildlife, aquatic life, forestry, soils and current environmental topics affecting their environment. Prior to competing, the students spend research time with their advisor studying and preparing for competition. Participating in this event is fun for both student teams and their advisors as the activities help the students to become environmentally aware, action-oriented young adults. The Berks County Envirothon is sponsored by the PA Game Commission, the PA Fish and Boat Commission, the Department of Forestry and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The competition is held in May at Nolde Forest Environmental Center.
