Stanwood High School Envirothon Team to Compete at State

Two teams from Stanwood High School competed at the Northwest Regional Envirothon on March 29 at Brightwater Environmental Learning Center in Woodinville. Envirothon is an environmentally-focused challenge for high school-level students to test their knowledge in five areas: forestry, aquatics, soils, wildlife and one current issue. This year’s current issue was Agricultural Soil & Water Conservation Stewardship. The teams are also required to give an oral presentation to three judges on the current issue. Teams from King and Snohomish counties competed in the day-long event.
