The 2012 Canon Envirothon competition is underway, and Great Lakes states are looking for participants.
Envirothon teams compete in outdoor challenges that test their understanding of soils, land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, wildlife and current environmental issues. Students may also do volunteer projects and give presentations about their experiences.
States have their own Envirothon programs. Check them out for more details on signing up.
