Wisconsin Envirothon

There is nothing like trading the classroom for the great outdoors! ☀️🌲🥾

More than 155 students got their hands dirty at four field stations: Aquatic Ecology, Forestry, Soils & Land Use, and Wildlife. From climbing into soil pits to analyze profiles to identifying aquatic invertebrates and interpreting wildlife surveys, these teams showed off some serious skills. Whether they were measuring trees or identifying invasive species, our competitors are becoming the next generation of land stewards!

Huge congratulations to Middleton High School for taking 1st Place Overall in the High School Division! They earned the highest score out of 29 competing teams and are now headed to the international stage. This summer, they will pack their bags and represent Wisconsin at the NCF-Envirothon in Mississippi.
