Local high schools compete for regional Envirothon honors

What affects the Gila trout’s habitat? How does climate change affect forests? What is a soil ribbon? These were a few of the questions high school students answered during the first-ever Northern NM Regional Envirothon held at Collins Lake Ranch near Cleveland, New Mexico on March 31. Teams from Mora, Peñasco and Taos competed then in oral presentations to a team of judges. Read more about the event and the history of national and international Envirothons in the Las Vegas Optic.
