The Stearns Conservation District helps to plan the Area 2 Envirothon every year. The Envirothon is an environmental competition for students in grades 6th-12th (6-8 Junior Division and 9-12 Senior Division) who have a desire to learn more about Minnesota’s natural resources. It is a chance for students to showcase their knowledge about our natural resources. The program helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

 

Students compete in 5 different learning stations throughout the competition. Learning stations are presented by natural resource professionals.

​

1. Wildlife

2. Forestry

3. Soils

4. Wetlands

5. Current environmental issue that rotates every year

​

*Senior teams also prepare and present an oral presentation to a set of judges.
