Herpapalooza!

  • Saturday, May 21, 2022, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Have you ever wondered what amphibians might be living in your backyards in Oswego County? Come celebrate Herpepalooza! with our environmental educators and find out!

They will be discussing herpetology, or the study of amphibians. Then they will lead participants around the nature center looking for native frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts (oh my!). Now that its springtime, these amphibians are living, swimming, and breeding in the various vernal pools, wetlands, and waterways located around the environmental education center. Participants will have the opportunity to be scientists for the day making new discoveries and having hands-on experiences!

Fee

Only $4.00 per person up to $12.00 per family. Children under the age of three 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.
