Youth will learn about different outdoor, winter resources that can be used for ornaments and holiday crafting, such as pinecones, sticks and twigs, or even greenery. The group will be creating crafts that can be hung around the house or crafts to hang outside for our wildlife friends to enjoy during the cold season, like edible garland or bird feeders.

Sparks – Holiday Nature Crafts is available to Oswego County youth ages 8 to 18. A parent or legal guardian will need to attend the first session on December 4th if their child is not previously enrolled in the Oswego County 4-H Program; additional enrollment paperwork may to be completed and signed at the first meeting.

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.
