MONTANA ENVIROTHONTrade Center @ the Fergus County Fairgrounds, Lewistown MTApril 19 -20, 2021 |
Young minds love a challenge. The idea of matching wits with their peers excites and inspires teenagers. The Envirothon was established as a competitive, problem-
solving, natural resource event for high school students to challenge them about the environment. Thousands of high school students have met the challenge and have
come away wiser and more concerned about the natural world and their environment.

2020 MONTANA ENVIROTHON CANCELLED: It is with the deepest regrets, because of the continued spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, that the Montana Envirothon Steering Committee has decided to cancel the Montana Envirothon scheduled for April 20 and 21, 2020. The decision was not easy but was made in the best interest of the health and safety of our participants. 2019 MONTANA ENVIROTHON: The 24th Annual Envirothon was held in Lewistown on April 29 - 30, 2019 with 34 teams registered and only 19 teams competing from across the state. There was a horrific snowstorm that hit and many of the teams couldn't make it. The teams consist of 5 high school students who take written tests on Forestry, Wildlife, Range, Soils, and Aquatics. This year's current issue was "Agriculture and the Environment: Knowledge and Technology to Feed the World." |
