Training Trunks

Updated October 13, 2024
Is your Envirothon team interested in obtaining hands-on materials and specimens to train for the New Jersey Envirothon? Then you may be interested in borrowing one of the three (3) Envirothon Training Trunks.

With a $100 deposit you can borrow the training trunk for a one or two-week period depending on availability. When you return the trunk and all of the included materials, your deposit will be promptly returned to you - it's that simple! All you have to do is reserve your trunk and arrange for pick-up at one of the Soil Conservation Districts listed on this page.

Don't miss out! Please make your reservations as early as possible to ensure that the trunk is available. The months of March and April fill up quickly.
