Reynoldsville C.G. Johnson Envirothon
The Jefferson Conservation District holds an Envirothon at the Reynoldsville C.G. Johnson Elementary School each spring. This competition is similar in format to the High School Envirothon but students compete as classrooms within their school.
Another difference is presenters teach the students for approximately 20 minutes and then test them to see what they have learned. This year's topics and presenters were:
Deer Ticks- Megan Whitlatch, Jefferson Conservation District
Water- Dana Grabowski, Jefferson Conservation District
Wildlife- Andrew Troutman, PA Game Commission
Waste Management- Donna Cooper, Jefferson County Solid Waste Authority
Solar Energy- Laryssa Remmick, Jefferson Conservation District
Aquatic Invasive Species- Danielle Rhea
PGC brought a trapped bear to the school to teach students about relocation and tagging of Black Bears. Following the Envirothon, the JCCD assisted PGC with Bluebird Box workshop for the 4th graders.
