Montgomery County Envirothon

The Envirothon program began in Pennsylvania in 1979 with three counties participating.  Today, over 10,000 students participate internationally, and the program has grown to include every County in the State of Pennsylvania. 

The first place team of the High School County event is sponsored at the Pennsylvania State Competition.  Winners of the PA Envirothon and Canon North American Envirothon are awarded college scholarships.
