Congrats to all who participated!
Envirothon is a “hands-on environmental education competition, testing knowledge and understanding of New York State’s natural resources”.
This year Berlin sent four teams to the Regional Envirothon Competition; three high school teams and one middle school team.
The students competed with their teams to test their knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatics and the current environmental issues. The teams are also tasked with creating a presentation that solves a current issue. Berlin’s four teams all worked hard and did an excellent job in the regional Rensselaer County competition.
Congratulations to all of this year’s Envirothon teams!
Great job Mountaineers!!
