Envirothon at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio July 24 – 30, 2022! This is the largest Envirothon in North America where each year over 25,000 high school students compete with their innovative solutions to balance quality of life and the quality of the environment. The ‘Rogue Pack’ secured their invitation to Ohio having captured 1st place at the 26th Annual Oregon Envirothon on May 6th at the Oregon Garden in Silverton, Oregon. The pack includes Logos high school students Christoph Anderson, Malachi Beal, Adam Hill, Naomi Nelson, and Andria Slaughter. Competing against 27 other high school teams, they garnered the highest score in the ‘Soils-Land Use’ testing station. This will be the 4th time a Logos Envirothon team will represent Oregon at the coveted annual competition. The 2015 Logos Envirothon Team was the first southern Oregon team to win the state competition, followed by 2017, 2019, and now again in 2022. At the NCF-Envirothon competing teams demonstrate their mastery of Aquatic Ecology, Forestry, Soils and Land Use, Wildlife, and a current environmental issue. This year the topic is ‘Waste to Resources’ to explore waste and its impacts on the environment. The Logos Rogue Pack, led by Logos Science & Inquiry teacher, Chris VanNess, has been devoting the past year to study and practice while working collaboratively with local community experts to develop practical and theoretical knowledge of natural resource and waste management. In addition, they are active participants in restoring and preserving natural habitats around Southern Oregon. “Studying, competing, and succeeding in Envirothon competitions has given me a chance to develop my interests in the environment and nature through a lens of understanding that I did not know that I had,” says
returning Rogue Pack team member, Adam Hill. “It is an honor to have the opportunity to represent Oregon at the National Conservation Foundation Envirothon.” The only hurdle between now and an NCF-Envirothon win is securing funds to get the Rogue Pack to Ohio! “Please support our journey to Ohio where we will represent the state of Oregon at the 2022 NCF Envirothon!” • Monetary donations can be made at their Go Fund Me page • Businesses are invited to donate ‘Trade Items’ that represent Oregon and the Rogue Valley.
