Welcome to the Chester County Envirothon!  The Chester County Conservation District sponsors this annual environmental educational program with the Chester County Parks and Recreation Department, hosting it at Hibernia County Park.  Each year students from public, private, parochial, and home schools, grades 1-12, celebrate months of research, exploration, and preparation with an enjoyable outdoor competition and measure of learning. 

 

The Chester County Envirothon is part of the Pennsylvania Envirothon Program, which helps students understand the natural environment and their role in it.  The Envirothon provides a means for students to demonstrate what they know about the environment.  It is a cumulative process that addresses the learning levels of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and application.  Students who participate in the Envirothon will demonstrate an understanding of environmental concepts, of how human activity impacts the environment, and of how people can work together as partners in conservation practices to enhance their lives and quality of life by protecting the environment.
