Council 10 Envirothon Held
Fayette County Schools participated in the Council 10 Envirothon
competition on April 12th at Ballard Nature Center east of Altamont.
Council 10 is an association of five Soil & Water Conservation Districts
including Effingham, Jasper, Cumberland, Shelby and Fayette counties.
Twenty
5-member teams participated in the event this year. Fayette County schools had
six teams present. Teams were tested in five different subjects dealing with
the environment: Soils, Aquatics, Wildlife, Forestry, and Salt & Fresh Water
Estuaries. Presenters
at each of the five stations were: Zach Weber, Soil Scientist with NRCS at
Soils, Jeremy Logan from the ACOE at Aquatics, Gary Potts, with the IDNR at
Wildlife, Mary Grapperhaus, also with IDNR at Forestry, and Karan Gruel
presented Fresh and Salt Water Estuaries. Neoga High School Team #1 took top honors
for the contest, with Brownstown Team #1 getting the highest score for Fayette
County schools. I think it is brought up at every contest we have but we
like to stress that there are several agencies that work together to make sure
this contest, as well as all other presentations, are a success and it would be
hard to do this without the cooperation of each and every person. But most of the people working at the Envirothon
do so because they know it is a worth while effort to give kids a better
understanding of their environment.
