                                         Envirothon 
          The State Envirothon program is a hands - on, natural resources competition 
           for high school students.  The Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts use their 
          conservation partnerships and bring in environmental scientists and experts to teach 
          young men and women the vital balance of conservation and land usage.  The competition
          is centered on four testing categories: soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry and wildlife
         and a current environmental issue.  This kind of competition takes vigorous preparation.  
          At State the team will listen to a 45 minute presentation on each of the four topics, then
         the group will work together to complete five tests, and also be given four hours to prepare
         an eight minute presentation on the current environmental issue.  The team who places first
         will go on to compete at the national level, where they will be up against 55 teams from the
         United States
