"Exciting news just arrived that the team of five Missouri students from Parkway North High School placed 2nd in the Canon Envirothon held in Arizona this year. Each will receive $4000 scholarship. They faced the challenge of 54 teams from 46 states and 8 Canadian provinces.
To win, teams show what they know about resource management and environmental science at a series of hands-on outdoor stations covering forestry, aquatic ecology, wildlife and soils/land use. Then they work as a team to give a convincing presentation on a key conservation/environmental issue (this year’s issue was recreational impacts on the environment)." - Mathew A.
