Kick off the school year with dynamic water lessons that have your students addressing issues in their communities. Using this year's Envirothon's Current Issue topic of Nonpoint Source Pollution, we will examine the challenges it presents to ecosystems, methods to address inputs, improvements seen, and community/school connections with student action ideas. The Envirothon is a vibrant environmental program supported by the Conservation Districts and their partners. Current and interested high school teachers, students, school administrators, mentors, and resource providers are welcome to participate and share the information with their communities.
