Conservation District Envirothon Winners

The Susquehanna County Conservation District is elated at the success of the 2005 Susquehanna County Envirothon competition. Twenty teams and over 100 students from Susquehanna County schools participated in the event.

The Mountain View Mesa morphs were the champions of the 2005 Susquehanna County Envirothon, held May 4 at Camp Archibald. The Envirothon gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of environmental issues. Students work together as a team in a thirty minute per station format and are challenged in the areas of aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and a current environmental issue, which was natural resource management and urban development. Upon completion of testing, all attending enjoyed group interaction and lunch sponsored by Susquehanna County Conservation District.

Members of the 2005 Envirothon winning team, Mountain View Mesamorphs (l-r) are: Roger Thomas - Advisor, Aaron Nichols, Matt Pfahl, Beatty Price, Nick Cicco - Captain and Mike Talibiska – Advisor.

The Mountain View High School’s win earns them the opportunity to compete in the statewide Envirothon competition. The state champion will represent PA. at the Canon Envirothon. The Members of the 2005 Envirothon winning team, Mountain View Mesa morphs, are Roger Thomas and Mike Talibiska- Advisors, Nick Cicco, Beatty Price, Shawn Mathews, Matt Pfahl and Aaron Nichols. The Canon Envirothon is the world’s largest environmental competition, and is hosted each year by a different state or province. Many Envirothon advisors credit the Envirothon competition as a resource which increases the student’s interest and eventually pursuing college degrees in various natural resource studies.
