2024 Cattaraugus County Envirothon
Hinsdale Team #1 braved
the elements to take the top spot at the Cattaraugus County Envirothon hosted
by Cattaraugus County Soil & Water Conservation District (CCSWCD). Coming in second and third were
Allegany-Limestone and Ellicottville Central, respectively. Hinsdale Team #1 narrowly took first out of
the nine teams to compete from seven different local school districts
including: Allegany-Limestone, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Ellicottville, Franklinville,
Hinsdale, Olean, and Randolph.
Approximately fifty high
school students grades 9-12 arrived at Camp Allegany located in the Red House
Area of Allegany State Park the morning of April 24th to put their
knowledge of conservation and environmental science to the test. Students traveled to five different testing
stations throughout the course of the day manned by numerous judges and
volunteers from various Federal, State, County, and local government agencies
along with several volunteers from private industries. Four of the stations,
Aquatics, Soils, Forestry, and Wildlife, require the students to work together
and be interactive with the environment around them at the Park to be able to
answer the questions. The Fifth station
is a Current Issue presentation to a panel of judges where they are given a
prompt by the New York State Envirothon Committee and must configure a plan to
remedy the issue. This year’s current issue
prompt was “Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future”.
1st Place: Hinsdale Team #1
Teams from Allegany-Limestone, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Ellicottville, Franklinville, Hinsdale, Olean, and Randolph.
