2007 NYS ENVIROTHON
Wednesday, May 23-24, 2007

Definition stated by the New York State ENVIROTHON web site...

"The ENVIROTHON idea is simple -- combine the proven concepts of hands-on education with the excitement of a good competition and the fun of spending a day in the outdoors. The result is an effective educational tool which will help our state's schools to nurture environmentally aware students and meet the immediate need to teach more environmental education. Because of its diversity and complexity, environmental science is a mixture of disciplines difficult to integrate together. To help teachers with the task, schools around the country have begun using supplemental curricula and activities, often developed with the help of various community resources. ENVIROTHON, with its rapid growth and exciting success, is a first rate example of how well such a program can work." - http://www.nysenvirothon.org/
