Envirothon is a high school academic competition that challenges students to expand their knowledge of the environment and natural resources, inspire action in their local communities, and develop a lifelong respect and appreciation for conservation. Each year over 25,000 high school students participate in the NCF-Envirothon where they embark on a journey to offer solutions to pressing environmental challenges.

Connecticut has been a part of the national Envirothon program since 1991, with the first statewide competition held in 1992. Over the past 33 years, thousands of students have participated, many of whom have gone on to be environmental professionals and informed stewards of natural resources. Each year, a state-wide competition is held in May, with the winning team going on to represent Connecticut at the NCF-Envirothon international event. 

Connecticut Envirothon is proud to be working to be the host of our first international competition in July of 2028! Want to learn more about the Connecticut Envirothon? Check out here. Or want to learn more about the international competition? Check out here.
