Our teams qualify for the state contest by placing first in the Manasota Regional Envirothon in February with over 100 students competing, representing seven Manatee and Sarasota county high schools. The Envirothon is an outdoor environmental team competition for high school students, testing their knowledge of aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and this year’s current issue ‘Agriculture and the Environment: Knowledge and technology to feed the world’.
Manatee River and Sarasota Soil and Water Conservation Districts co-sponsor the annual Manasota Regional Envirothon. Thanks once again to our regional event sponsors Mosaic, Sarasota County Farm Bureau, Keep Manatee Beautiful, and Keep Sarasota County Beautiful.
