ANNAPOLIS, Md.—A team of
five students from Middletown
High School in Frederick County
recently beat out teams from 19
counties to win the 1995 Mary
land Envirothon—an intense,
hands-on problem-solving natural
resources competition for high
school students. The event was
held May 19-20 at the 4-H Center
in Garrett County.
Team members Elaine
Bucheimer, Natalie Bucheimer,
Crissi Gamache, Jen Moral, and
Erin Weber, along with team alter
nates Lara Wise and Tara Harrell
will now go on to represent Mary
land at the National Envirothon
competition slated for July 31-Au
gust 3 in Rexburg, Idaho. The
team, dubbed “The Lorax,” was
coached by science instructor Ron
Albaugh and assisted by Barry
Burch, a planner with the Freder
ick and Catoctin Soil Conserva
tion Districts. Some 30 teams
from across the nation are
expected to compete in the
National competition.
“This is a wonderful eduction
program for the students,” said
Maryland Agriculture Secretary
Lewis Riley
“The program is successful
because it gets students out of the
classroom and into the natural
world that they are learning about
It really has an impact on the stu
dents to leam about soil from a
soil scientist or forestry from an
actual forester.
“It’s just a great program all
around,” he said.

Frederick County Team Wins
an outdoor environmental educa
tion center. Students taking part in
the competition have been study
ing Maryland’s natural resources
for the past year in hopes of
winning.
Working in teams of five, the
students are trained and tested in
four natural resources areas
including soil, aquatics, forestry,
and wildlife, plus a current envir
onmental issue that changes from
year to year. This year’s issue was
groundwater.
The students —who hail from a
growing list of Maryland high
schools and counties—rotate
through the various test stations
where they are asked to identify
and categorize living resources,
perform soil surveys, and solve
other complex natural resource
issues. The team with the highest
cumulative total wins the competi
tion and the opportunity to repre
sent Maryland at the National
Envirothon.
At the 1995 competition, the
Frederick team scored 433 points
out of a possible 500. They were
followed by teams from Harford
(433 points), Montgomery (395
points), Charles (390 points),
Washington (380 points) and Dor
chester counties (377 points).
The first Envirothon competi
tion was held in Pennsylvania in
1979. Since then, more than 15
states. Canada, and Australia have
embraced the program and sent
teams to the National competition
in late summer.
Established in 1991, the objec
tives of the Maryland Envirothon
are twofold—to test student’s
