What is Envirothon?
Envirothon is a program for high school students to learn more about our natural environment. The spirit of competition motivates athletes, drives successful businesses and stimulates new ideas.
Envirothon tests the student's knowledge on topics such as:
Soils
Water resources
Forestry
Wildlife
Current environmental issues.
Each year there is a statewide competition!
SC Envirothon 2027 Competition will be held on Friday, April 16, 2027 at the Clemson Sandhill REC in Columbia, SC.
