2023 Wisconsin Envirothon Results

Schools from across the state spent a sunny, chilly spring day testing their knowledge at various stations where they participated in multiple hands-on challenges. These exams are based on four categories: aquatic ecology, forestry, soils/land use, and wildlife.

Teams identified tree species and measured tree diameters in the woods and assessed the engineering and agronomic properties of soils at the soils and land use station. They also identified aquatic invertebrates and invasive plants, as well as wildlife pelts and tracks. Additionally, they tested their classroom knowledge on written exams.

Students also had three weeks to prepare a team presentation, which provides an opportunity to join fundamental knowledge and reasoning ability to understand and articulate today’s critical environmental concerns. This year’s Current Issue: Adapting to a Changing Climate.

Sun Prairie East High School took the title of Overall winner in the High School level and will represent Wisconsin at the National Conservation Foundation-Envirothon taking place July 23-July 29, 2023 at Mount Allison University-New Brunswick, Canada.
