Forest Safari

  • Sunday, May 15, 2022, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

A mid-May, Sunday morning calls for an adventure! Join environmental educators for an outdoor Forest Safari! We will discuss the variety of animals (beaver, waterfowl, amphibians, insects, and more) that use the property, and how and why they determine it suitable habitat before going out and possibly spotting those animals, just like a real safari! 

Participants will be walking the Beaver Marsh Trail, looking and listening for signs of animals living at or visiting the nature center. We will have binoculars available to borrow, but you are welcome to bring your own. We recommend boots or shoes that can get wet or muddy as we will go outside even if it is raining. Please dress appropriately for the weather.

Fee

$4.00 per person up to $12.00 per family. Children under the age of 3 are free.

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.
