Envirothon

Envirothon is a fun academic event for Allegheny County high school students. 

This event challenges students to think critically about the natural world and their roles in it. Envirothon combines in-class curriculum and outdoor training, helping students learn more about aquatic ecology, forestry, soil and land use, wildlife and current environmental issues.

Envirothon inspires students to pursue further education in environmental fields and awards scholarships to winning teams. 

ACCD's goal is to increase scholarships, expanding access to education and motivating students across the county. Help achieve this goal by becoming an event sponsor. 

In 2023 and 2024, ACCD promoted environmental education by awarding $14,000 in scholarships to 30 students.
