🌿 The 2026 Chester County Envirothon 🌿

Calling All Nature Explorers!

Do you love being outside? Are you curious about animals, trees, and the world around you? Then the Chester County Envirothon might be perfect for you!

The Envirothon is an exciting outdoor competition for 4th and 5th grade students where you’ll learn to identify trees, birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians found right here in Chester County and across Pennsylvania. 🌳🦅🐢

Along the way, you’ll explore cool science topics like food chains, ecosystems, the water cycle, and renewable energy—all while having fun in nature!

📍 Competition Day: Late April at Hibernia County Park
📅 Team Practices: Mondays after school starting February 9th
🚌 Bonus Fun: A special Sunday field trip to Warwick County Park in April!

If you’re selected for the Envirothon Team, you’ll meet with other nature lovers to learn, explore, and prepare for competition day.
