The 2026 Massachusetts Envirothon will take place on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at Hopkinton State Park. This dynamic, hands-on event is where high school students step into the role of environmental problem-solvers. Student teams tackle real-world challenges across forestry, soils, water, and wildlife, and present innovative solutions to issues facing Massachusetts communities. This year’s theme, Living Sponge Communities: Strategies for Mitigating Environmental Impacts from Stormwater, brings urgency and creativity together—connecting climate resilience and land use in powerful ways.

The LSPA is proud to be an EcoStation Sponsor at the Envirothon, but we are also coordinating a group of LSPA members to volunteer at the event. Volunteers can assist for the full day or half a day, and in the following roles:

In 2023, the LSPA awarded a “30for30” grant* to the Massachusetts (MA) Envirothon Program— a long-standing environmental education and competition initiative that empowers high school students to tackle real-world natural resource challenges.
