The Ohio Envirothon event was held at Defiance College. On Monday, teams traveled to Defiance SWCD’s Penney Nature Center for field testing. The competing teams were then tasked with preparing a five-minute presentation on a problem scenario based on the theme of “Adapting to Climate Change,” as well as the data they collected during field testing. On Tuesday, each team presented to a panel of three judges.
Fort Jennings High School was the winner of the event, followed by Lynchburg Clay in second place, and Upper Sandusky Team 1 in third. The Fort Jennings team will represent Ohio at the NCF-Envirothon in New Brunswick, Canada at the end of July.
