About Envirothon
The National Conservation Foundation (NCF) Envirothon is an environmental and natural resource conservation problem-solving, team-building, and leadership experience and competition for 9th – 12th grade students across the U.S.
Iowa Envirothon challenges students statewide to hone critical thinking skills and create inventive solutions to the complex local environmental and natural resource issues facing Iowans today. Through regional testing and the state competition, teams of Iowa high school students earn a chance to deep dive into valuable environmental and natural resource problem-solving, team-building, and leadership experiences. Both the regional and state contest include questions in these four areas: wildlife, soils, aquatics, and forestry/prairie. Teams qualifying for the state contest also prepare an oral presentation on the current year’s topic.
In Iowa, the Conservation Districts of Iowa (CDI) manage this competition. Starting in 2024, the Iowa Conservation Education Coalition (ICEC) is partnering with CDI to promote this program!
In Iowa, teams of students sign up for a regional, on-line exams. The teams with the top 15 scores at the regional level are invited to the state competition at a central Iowa location in the spring.
