Key Programs
- Envirothon
The Northern Area III Envirothon is an environmental
competition for high school teams to challenge their environmental knowledge and problem solving skills. Five learning stations are
presented by natural resource professionals in the fields of water,
wildlife, forestry, soils and a current environmental issue. In
addition, students will be asked to make a 10 minute oral presentation
on the current event issue at a sixth station. The contest takes place
in an outdoor setting. Teams are composed of 4 to 5 students. At
each station, teams are given a short presentation and
students must then answer 20 questions specific to that site.
The 13th Annual Northern Area III Envirothon
will be held on Monday, May 5th at 9:00 a.m. at the Cloquet Forestry
Center in Cloquet, Minnesota. Any student teams, grades 9-12,
from high schools, home schools, or club organizations (4-H, Boy/Girl
Scouts etc.) in Northern Area III may participate. Northern Area III consists of the
northeastern Minnesota counties of Aitkin, Cook, Lake, and St. Louis.
Each team needs an adult advisor. The school is responsible for
transportation to and from the event. Lunch is provided!
