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:
- Food support (breakfast and lunch)
- Parking Assistance
- Registration and greeting teams
- On-site directions and wayfinding
- Composting and recycling oversight
- Current Issue judging
- Event Clean-up
- And other support roles
Join the LSPA has we support this important event for Massachusetts youth! If you’re interested in volunteering, email Mariellen Morris at [email protected] by February 13, 2026.
