Envirothon 2006
The Envirothon teams are made of five
students that must attend the same high school of education organization and be
in grades 9-12. Each team has an advisor that is responsible for helping the
teams prepare for the competition through classroom training, field days, and
presentations by natural resource experts.
The competition begins at the area level in late March. The
top five teams at the Central, North and South area competition advance to the
Canon Envirothon with teams competing from the United States and Canada.
Central Area competition is held in late March. In 2005,
competition was held at Lake Chautauqua in Copiah County. Three teams
represented Madison County. They were two teams from Ridgeland High School and
one from Madison Central High School. Eleven other teams from the central part
of Mississippi also competed. The top 5 scoring teams advanced to the State
Envirothon held in May, 2005 at Roosevelt State Park. Madison County teams won
three of the five spots to advance.
