The Florida Regional Envirothon is a problem-solving, natural resource education program for high school students. It is a unique outdoor competition that requires teamwork and the application of knowledge in the five areas listed below:

• Aquatics – water ecology, water chemistry, water quality, and aquatic life.
• Current Environmental Issues – annually selected topics such as energy sources, ground water, Gulf of Mexico environmental concerns or other current issues.
• Forestry – tree identification, tree ecology, insects, and timber.
• Soils – classification, formation, soil properties, profiles, and site suitability.
• Wildlife – habitat, identification, food, disease, and management.

Each team consists of five students. Schools can enter more than one team, but no more than six teams. The five-member teams are led by an advisor in studying prepared resource materials in the five areas including a selected current environmental issue.
