Welcome to the Grant Park Envirothon Team!
The Manitoba Envirothon is a competition for high school students focusing each year on four major environmental topics (Aquatics, Forestry, Soils & Wildlife) and one new "theme" topic each year. Teams of 5 sudents compete with each student typically becoming an "expert" in each of these areas.     
 
Students are given study materials to work with throughout the year and are invited to a special envirothon workshop each spring. The Envirothon competition takes place in late May each year.  
   
See a photo-gallery from the 2008 Envirothon Team! Congrats to Emily, Evan, Kati, Madeleine and Shira - the team worked hard and had a great time competing this year!
