Wildlife Resources

Our goal is to make preparation more accessible for every Maine team, regardless of whether they have an experienced coach or a first-year advisor. These resources are optional, organized by learning objective, and designed to support a variety of learning styles while encouraging a deeper understanding of wildlife concepts.

This page is your home base for preparing for the Wildlife section of the Envirothon competition. Every topic below is built directly around the official NCF-Envirothon Wildlife learning objectives, covering wildlife biology, ecology, conservation and management, and field identification skills.
