SUMMARY:Mass Envirothon - Registration Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Trees\, Forests\, and Sustainability in Massachusetts\n\nIn thi
 s component of the Envirothon program\, teams research a current environme
 ntal issue as it occurs in their own community\, then prepare a presentati
 on on their findings and proposed solutions. Each year the Massachusetts E
 nvirothon Committee takes the Canon Envirothon's Current Issue and works t
 o ensure that the topic is relevant to ALL Massachusetts communities. Wide
 -ranging community research is encouraged\, including field study\, interv
 iews of scientists\, advocates\, local officials\, and residents\, interne
 t and library searches\, map reading\, and visits to town hall.\n\nMany te
 ams take what they learn in their current issue research and apply it in a
  community action project. Any team that demonstrates high research standa
 rds in their current issue work\, or applies their Envirothon learning in 
 a service project\, is eligible for an Envirothon Community Award.\n\nAt t
 he state competition in May\, the team makes a presentation of their Curre
 nt Issue findings and recommendations to a panel of judges (including natu
 ral resource managers\, local and state officials\, environmental advocate
 s\, and others) who score them and provide helpful feedback on their knowl
 edge\, proposed solutions\, and presentation skill. A highlight of the exp
 erience is the interaction between the teams and the judges when the scori
 ng is completed. After the morning competition\, teams have a chance to sh
 are their current issue research and community action projects informally 
 at a lunchtime "roundtables" session.
