Consider registering a team of high school students for the Connecticut Envirothon. The annual event sponsored by the Conservation Districts, has inspired students to be part of environmental careers in forestry, wildlife, water quality, and other careers for years. This year we challenge students to examine Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future.
