Competition Overview
- Teams rotate through four hands-on testing stations—Forestry, Wildlife, Aquatic Ecology, and Soils and Land Use
- Teams tackle real environmental issues and present solutions to a panel of judges. Current Environmental Issues are released before the competition, giving time to research, plan, and create science-based proposals
- Teams spend the weekend on a New Brunswick university campus, stay in dorms, eat in the dining hall, and get a feel for post-secondary life
- Students meet from across the province, learn from experts, and get inspired by others who care about the same things
- All competitive and non-competitive teams are recognized and celebrated. Teams compete for medals, prizes, and the chance to represent New Brunswick at the International NCF-Envirothon
