May 31, 2020 by Wayne Creed Leave a Comment

The Eastern Shore SWCD’s local Dominion Energy Envirothon competition  was held on March 12,

2020, at the Barrier Islands Center in Machipongo.  A total of six teams competed, representing Northampton High School, Chincoteague High School, and Broadwater Academy.  Held annually, the Envirothon tests students on their knowledge of wildlife, forestry, aquatics, soil science, a special topic.  This year’s special topic was “Water Resources:  Local Control and Local Solutions.” 

This year’s winner was Broadwater Academy.

In addition to being tested on natural resource topics, students also must study a given problem and make recommendations on how to fix that problem using best management practices.  This years special problem required the teams to give a 20 minute oral presentation on ways to protect surface and ground water from pollution in Rockingham County.
