Brockton High School Envirothon Team & Outdoor Club
Wildlands Trust coaches the Brockton High School Outdoor Club
to prepare students to compete at the Massachusetts Envirothon.
In collaboration with the Brockton High School science department and environmental educators at Manomet, Wildlands Trust coaches and sponsors the school’s Envirothon Team. Since 2015, Wildlands Trust has been proud to bring students to the Massachusetts Envirothon, a prestigious statewide competition for high school students that tests their knowledge on challenging natural resource topics.
In 2025, the team expanded its reach by hosting the Outdoor Club. The Outdoor Club welcomes those who are curious about the environment, interested in expanding their outdoor skills, or simply want to connect with like-minded peers in nature, without the expectation of competing.
With an emphasis on place-based learning, we empower Brockton youth to be environmental stewards and lead the way for the future of their communities and beyond.
In 2020, Brockton High School students submitted a video presentation in lieu of the competition.
