Envirothon

Each year we host Cecil County high school students in grades 9-12 competing in the Envirothon.  This state-wide competition provides a fun and exciting way to learn about the natural world around them.  Topics include forestry, soils, aquatics, wildlife and a 5th rotating current environmental topic.
