ENVIROTHON
The ACCD recently sponsored the 2008 Envirothon competition for high school
students in Asotin County. The competition was held at Headgate Park on Monday,
May 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Envirothon is a competition that tests
student's knowledge of natural resources through hands-on opportunities.
Students are tested in forestry, wildlife, water, soils and a current
environmental issue. This year's current issue topic was recreational impacts on
natural resources.
The competition was held at Headgate Park to provide students with first hand
knowledge of a project that was sponsored by ACCD in cooperation with Asotin
County. ACCD received a grant from SRFB to reduce impacts of recreational
vehicles at Headgate Park and the accompanying impacts on aquatic species in
Asotin Creek. Asotin Creek is home to ESA listed steelhead, spring Chinook and
bull trout. Asotin County Commissioners -- Don Brown, Buck Lane and Doug Mattoon
-- attended as special guests to discuss the Headgate Park Revegetation Project.
The winning team was from Clarkston High School: Brian Johnson, Jeff Johnson,
Johnny Wasem, Caleb Dotson and Lena Miraglio with 596 total points! They will
have an opportunity to compete at the state competition being held on May 28 and
29 in Wenatchee. The state winner will compete at the Canon Envirothon being
held in Arizona. For more information contact Cheryl Sonnen at 758-8012.
