Support for the Envirothon Program

Congratulations to Lexington High School’s Envirothon Team named the champion of the 2023 National Conservation Foundation (NCF)-Envirothon

The Envirothon is the leading natural resource education program for  Massachusetts high school students, emphasizing hands-on, team-oriented problem solving and community involvement that prepares young people for environmental careers and active citizenship.

The first Massachusett’s Envirothon was held in Spencer, Massachusetts created by Worcester County Conservation District’s Administrator Peggy Miscagh in 1988 and was held on district property, Buck Hill Conservation Center in Spencer, with five participating teams. Today our partnership continues to play an important role for the District as WCCD provides outreach and assistance to Worcester County teams and it’s Administrator is a Steering Committee board member.

Assistance to Teams- is available through Worcester County Conservation District through financial small scholarship/grants and through educational workshops. This is a one time per calendar year award with funds to be used for supplies, registration costs, transportation costs to workshops or the in-person event. Teams need to be affiliated with a school or organization located within Worcester County. Applicants need to provide an explanation of their need through email to WCCD Administrator Jennifer Mason at    

Preference will be given to teams in towns which meet the criteria located within an environmental justice community.
