How do we balance quality of life and the quality of the environment? Over 25,000 high school students across the United States, Canada and China embark on a journey each year to offer solutions to this critical question through the NCF-Envirothon.

The NCF-Envirothon is a program of the National Conservation Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, and supported by the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD). As the complex natural resource issues facing our planet evolve, the mission and impact of the Envirothon has never been more important. 

Created in 1979, the Envirothon is a hands-on environmental and natural resources problem-solving competition that builds leadership skills for high school students in the U.S., Canada and China. The Envirothon is managed and directed by the National Conservation Foundation (NCF) and its NCF-Envirothon Operating Committee. 

Participating high school teams are trained and tested in five natural resource categories: Soils/Land Use, Aquatic Ecology, Wildlife, Forestry and Current Environmental Issues. The Envirothon works in partnership with conservation agencies and non-profit organizations to organize and conduct competitions across North America and beyond. Winning teams from each state and/or province advance to the international event to compete for recognition, scholarships and prizes.
