Of all the NYS Envirothon elements, which do you find most challenging and why?

It’s a lot more difficult—much broader.

The lake and meeting the people.

What are your plans next year?
I will major in Environmental Science at Paul Smith’s College

In your view, what is the most important environmental issue faced by our country, and what can your generation do about it?
The economic crisis vs. saving the wetlands and endangered species. People are uneducated, so they don’t care; we need to educate people and get them to care about the environment.

Hello there! I was a volunteer at the State Envirothon this year and wanted to say good luck on your future at Paul Smith’s. I graduated a year ago with a Bachelor’s in Fish & Wildlife Management and now work about a half hour from campus for Soil and Water. If you ever need anything or just want a tour to meet some of the professors, just drop me an e-mail (patricia.decosse@ny.nacdnet.net)!
