​

The Northampton County ENVIROTHON is an environmental and ecological educational learning experience for students, teachers and parents. The Northampton County Conservation District with assistance from the Parks Department and volunteers help to plan, coordinate and run the Envirothon since its inception in 1998. Local businesses, individuals, cooperating agencies and sponsors donate time, talent and resources to make the Envirothon possible.

The Envirothon program originated in Pennsylvania in the spring of 1979. Pennsylvania’s State Conservation Commission and the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts sponsored the program as an outdoor, hands-on competition for high school students. Three county conservation districts held local competitions that first year. The Northampton County Envirothon started in 1998 with only four teams competing. The Northampton County Envirothon invites all 15 Northampton County high schools and home school programs to participate. Our goal is to one day have teams from all schools compete.

Since 1979, the Envirothon program has grown to include all but one county within the state. The first statewide competition was held in 1984, with only six of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties participating. The first national competition was held in October of 1988 with Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Ohio participating.
