Our Great Lake

  • Thursday, August 25, 2022, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

August is National Water Quality month and Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is celebrating! Join educators at 10:00 a.m. on August 25th, for a Lake Ontario watershed program and learn all about the lake, from the history and formation by glaciers, to modern day usage. Lake Ontario is the most threatened of the Great Lakes, so the group will also discuss what can be done to protect this much needed freshwater source. This program will feature a make-and-take craft and other hands-on activities demonstrating the effects pollution has on our freshwater.

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.
