Connecticut's Conservation Districts are dedicated to educating youth and
adults alike about the value of conserving our natural resources.
The conservation districts work closely with many partners to promote
conservation education in their local areas through a variety of programs such
as:
Stewardship Week
Each Year some Conservation Districts offer materials to schools and churches based on a
new Conservation Theme. Order your Stewardship packet in January.
Connecticut Envirothon
The Envirothon was organized by a handful of volunteers with a
vision to bring natural resource conservation, and environmental education to
tomorrow's farmers, conservationists, teachers, consumers, voters,
decision-makers and conservation district staff and board members.
The Envirothon is a hands-on outdoor competition for high school aged youth
that test's student's knowledge and understanding of soils and land use, aquatic
ecology, forestry, wildlife and a current issue that varies from year to year.
Please visit the Connecticut Envirothon's
