Coastal Envirothon Presentation

                  Welcome to the                       NC Coastal Envirothon!




ANNOUNCEMENTS:

We are down to the final countdown until the 2024 NC Coastal Envirothon!  Please be sure to remind your teams of the following points:

- If you have a food allergy, please bring a bag lunch from home. Smithfield Foods is sponsoring our lunch so we will have hot dogs available.  If you are unable to participate in the meal, be prepared to pack and bring your own lunch.


-Bring your water bottle!  We will have water refill stations placed throughout the event site.  Help us to cut down on plastic use by bringing a bottle, hydro flask, or cup to refill and hydrate whenever you need to.


-Bring a chair, blanket, or towel to sit on.  There are only two stations with benches to sit on so if you do not wish to stand the entire day or sit directly on the ground be sure to bring something to protect the tush.


-Check the weather!  This is an outdoor event: rain or shine, hot or cold.  Be sure to check this weather link HERE to see what the weather forecast for Cool Springs will be. Please dress appropriately for the weather!  Remember to bring sunscreen and bug spray to keep the burns and bites off.


-WE HAVE HOODIES FOR SALE!  If you are interested in purchasing a hoodie, please bring exact change with you. 


 What is the NC Coastal Envirothon?

The Envirothon program is a competitive event for five member high school and middle school teams to compete in a natural resources knowledge and ecology field day against other high school and middle school teams. It stimulates, reinforces and enhances students’ interest in the environment and our state’s natural resources.

The NC Coastal Envirothon is a qualifying event for the state Envirothon competition; the NC Coastal Envirothon is held annually at the Cool Springs Environmental Education Center and is traditionally scheduled to take place on the third Tuesday of March.  It allows teams from Area 5 and Area 6 to compete against one another to win a spot at the N.C. State Envirothon held in Burlington, N.C. in April.
