United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2015
Connecticut Envirothon is a natural resource based education program that was started in 1992 by the state’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
High School Students work in teams led by a teacher/advisor. During the school year, teams receive curriculum materials and are invited to a series of training workshops in the Envirothon Study Areas of Soils, Aquatics, Wildlife, Forestry and a Current Environmental Issue. These workshops are presented by foresters, soil scientists, aquatic ecologists, wildlife biologists, and many others. Students really benefit from meeting people working in a broad range of environmental careers. Teachers also benefit and find the program a wonderful source of networking and professional growth for their own careers.

Does Connecticut provide dirt streambanks for the endangered female bumblebee to hibernate in over the long, cold Winter?
Super helpful content, I love learning about these critters
your lifespan of the house cat is greatly exaggerated - on average it's 13-17 years old - NOT 27! We need to write/install laws to make it illegal to let owned pet cats roam. Pet abandonment should also result in stiff penalties - not slaps on the wrists. There are leash laws for dogs - we need containment legislation for owned pet cats as well. Groups who are working on the problem through TNR - it would be better instead if folks could work together on the problem - there is a way to do this humanely through education, TNR of ferals, low cost or better yet FREE spay/neuter clinics and rehoming those individual ferals who can be socialized. It is a complicated problem but there are solutions. We don't have packs of dogs roaming - so we can indeed tackle the issues of cats too by working together.
Congratulations, Top 3 and so happy for you, Lori and Marvelwood. Thank you for all your efforts, CT. Envirothon.
Thank you David! You and your teams from Housatonic have inspired our kids to improve their skills over the years! To the CT Envirothon Team, the kids and parents all reported that they loved the video presentation! Thank you for all your efforts to continue the competition again this year despite the challenges of the global pandemic!
