Potter County Conservation District holds 2019 Envirothon Competition
On May 2, the 2019 Envirothon Competition was held at the PA Lumber Museum. 95 students from the county’s five public schools competed, including four Junior teams comprised of 7th and 8th graders. The Junior teams were a new addition this year, and may lead to the creation of a separate Junior Envirothon Event in the future.
Students were tested on Aquatics, Wildlife, Forestry, and Soils, and the Current Issue category, which was centered on Sustainable Agriculture this year. External agency personnel working with the District to administer testing included Service Foresters Mike Cole and Eric Monger (Forestry), Wildlife Conservation Officer Mark Fair (Wildlife), NRCS Soil Conservationist Ashlynn Dunn, County GIS Technician Charlie Tuttle (Current Issue) and Amidea Daniels with the PA Fish and Boat Commission (Aquatics).
Sponsors of the event this year included the Conservation District, JKLM Energy LLC., the Upper Allegheny Watershed Association, Kessel Construction, Inc., Wending Creek Farms, God’s Country Chapter Trout Unlimited, Genesee Headwaters Watershed Association, the First Fork Watershed Association, the Pennsylvania Envirothon Inc., the Black Forest Conservation Association, and Sheetz, Inc.
The winning Junior Envirothon Team the “Junior Falcons” were from Coudersport, and very close behind at second place was Northern Potter’s junior team. Coudersport’s winning junior team was comprised of Sawyer Batterson, Kevin Sherry, Alissa Dunn, Sophia Snowman, and Nash Delp. The upper classmen first place winners “Granny’s Flying Squirrels” were also from Coudersport, and included Cladia Miller, Daniel Frame, Hope Daisley, Logan Rogers, Matthew Daniels, and Logan Rogers.
