Saturday, February 21, 2026, Envirothon NB teams came together at UNB ForEM for an engaging, hands-on Aquatics and Wildlife Training Workshop. Students from Leo Hayes High School, Stanley Consolidated School, and Saint Malachy’s Memorial High School participated in a full day of practical learning designed to strengthen their understanding of key ecological concepts ahead of the provincial Envirothon NB competition during May 3-4 at Mount Allison University.

Workshops like this are central to the Envirothon model: experiential, team-based learning that connects students directly with natural resource professionals and applied environmental science.
Thank you to the students, teacher advisors, and facilitators who contributed to a successful and impactful day of learning.
