CALIFORNIA ENVIROTHON
Heartfelt congratulations to our California Envirothon’s Mountain Goat team (Fremont, CA) who placed 17th out of 42 high school teams at the National Conservation Foundation’s Envirothon’s event at the end of July at Mississippi State University in Starkville!
After engaging in a week-long set of five different testing categories our spirited team gave it their very best and were not far from 3rd place! We are still in the process of hearing of their challenges, varied experiences and delights! Thanks, hardy Mountain Goats, for busting your chops for California!

About Us
The California Envirothon is a natural resources and environmental competition for teams of high school students (grades 9-12) and youth organizations such as 4-H clubs.
Youth (ages 14-19) are provided resources to study the key areas of soils, wildlife, forestry, aquatic ecosystems, and the annual current study topic (e.g., climate change).
The teams are tested on their comprehension, critical thinking, and understanding of natural resources conservation, stewardship, and environmental protection.
CAE also extends its scope to include Native and Indigenous peoples and the close relationships with their culture and traditions to the environment. CAE offers youth the opportunity to learn the skills and tools necessary to create a path to success: collaborative team work, public speaking, and the willingness to learn new ideas.
