Hooves in the Forest

  • Wednesday, April 1, 2026, 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Have you ever been walking along a trail and come across a hoof print? Deer tracks are some of the most common signs of wildlife one might find in the woods.

We'll begin indoors, learning about this mammal and familiarizing ourselves with the clues deer leave behind, such as shed antlers and fur tufts. Then we'll venture outside for a guided trail walk to search for evidence of deer roaming the woods and wetlands.

Advanced registration is encouraged, as space is limited. 

Fee

Only $4 per person and up to $12 per family.

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.
