Subject: 🌿 Time to Register for the 2025 Maine Envirothon – Don’t Miss Out!
It’s time to get excited because the 2025 Maine Envirothon is almost here! This is a wonderful opportunity for high school students in Aroostook County to participate in a hands-on environmental competition, and I would love to see homeschool families take part this year!
As part of the Central Aroostook Soil and Water Conservation District, we’re excited to be hosting the Northern Regional Envirothon at UMaine Presque Isle on May 20, 2025.
Why Participate in Envirothon?
Envirothon allows students to test their knowledge in the following environmental categories:

Students will:
