Discovering Animal Tracks

  • Saturday, December 10, 2022, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

PROGRAM RESCHEDULED!

Come investigate the woods to discover how animal tracks and traces reveal varying habits, physical characteristics, and interactions about wildlife! Following a presentation, the group will go outside and search throughout the nature preserve for animal signs and be able to determine which animal was in the area. While there is no guarantee of snow, tracks can be discovered in many places and in many ways, such as tracks in the mud, or rubbings from deer antlers. The program will still take place if it is raining or snowing, so please dress appropriately!

Fee

Only $4 per person, up to $12 for a 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.
