Resources
NCF Envirothon has published the 2018 NCF Rangeland Study Guide.
While this study guide is directed to teams competing in Idaho at the NCF Envirothon in 2018, many of the resources will be helpful in preparing for the CA Envirothon. The CA Envirothon Steering Committee will update this page with additional (California-specific) resources as our event draws closer. Please check back often for updates!
