North Dakota Envirothon is a competition for high school students to test their knowledge on natural resources.  Although we do not currently have a team competing in the 2007 state challenge, the district is interested in sponsoring a team from Grand Forks County to participate. Are you a high school teacher or student from our county and may be interested in putting together a team?   Contact Nedra Hoberg at the Grand Forks County SCD about having a team from your school attend.
