Arkansas Envirothon is an affiliate of the National Conservation Foundation (NCF) Envirothon program.
Envirothon is an environmental competition for five member teams of 14-19 year old high school students. They take written tests about aquatic ecology, forestry, soil, and wildlife. After being given an environmental scenario, they create and give a 20-minute oral presentation of how they would handle competing interests.
