Honesdale students win Pike/Wayne Envirothon

Posted

HAWLEY, PA — The Wayne Highlands School District team, the Spudsters, from Honesdale High School, are the overall winners of the 2018 Pike/Wayne Envirothon. Second place went to Enviro Freaks of Wallenpaupack Area School District. The 32nd annual Pike/Wayne Envirothon was held on Thursday, April 26, at the Wallenpaupack Environmental Learning Center with a day of educational competition.

The first-place Wayne Highlands team will represent Wayne County at the State Envirothon event at Susquehanna University and Camp Mount Luther on May 22 and 23. The highest-scoring team for Pike County, Enviro Freaks from Wallenpaupack Area School District, will represent Pike County at the state event.

Envirothon is a one-day educational competition designed to test the knowledge, skills and problem solving capabilities of high school students regarding our earth’s natural resources. This year’s event included high school teams from Wayne County (Wayne Highlands, Canaan Christian Academy and Western Wayne); and Pike County (Delaware Valley and Wallenpaupack.)

Each five-member team competed by applying its knowledge and problem-solving skills in subject areas that included aquatic ecology, forestry, soils/land use, wildlife, and this year’s current issue, which was “Benefits of Grassland and Pastureland Management.”
