Chautauqua Lake Central School students came in third place in New York State’s Envirothon.
The event was held at SUNY Cortland May 27 through 28 and featured students participating in a hands-on environmental competition focused on topic areas such as: soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatics, and an emerging environmental issue: Non-Point Source Pollution Mitigation: It Begins at Home.
New York State Agriculture Commissioner Richard Ball said, “The annual Envirothon competition series is a critical part of environmental and agricultural education in our state and across the world, and it is inspiring to see so many young people preparing to advocate for our environment and natural resources in the years to come. This competition provides a unique opportunity for our students to put their education to the test through hands-on experiments and helps shine the spotlight on the critical importance of preserving our natural resources. I congratulate our New York teams and our winners and wish them the best of luck moving forward.”…
