Amboy's Winter Mammals

  • Tuesday, December 28, 2021, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

How do the wild animals at Amboy survive in winter? Come find out at this family-oriented guided nature hike. Learn which animals hibernate and which ones don’t -- and what’s torpor anyway? Discover the answers on Tuesday, December 28th at 1:00 p.m.!

Snowshoes will be available at outdoor programs if there is sufficient snow. Please be sure to dress warmly and in layers. Also outdoor footwear that can be strapped into a snowshoe should be worn -- sneakers and fashion boots with heels do not fit into the straps and will make walking difficult.

Fee

The program fee is only $4.00 per person up to $12.00 per family. Children under the age of 3 are free.

Philosophy

The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it! Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is a laboratory where youth and adults can observe nature first hand, alone or under the guidance of one of the Center’s Environmental Educators. Public programs often feature guest presenters who are recognized leaders in the fields of wildlife management, outdoor education, and botany. It is also the Center’s belief that learning should be fun.
