Write a commentSaturday, June 3, 2022 is the 31st annual American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day®, which is all about exploring local or state trail systems, giving back to trails, and building a world where everyone has the ability to enjoy the outdoors.
On June 3rd at 5:30p.m., join the celebration at the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center and learn how to leave no trace when enjoying public, national, or state recreation areas.

Overall, this will be an educational and fun event for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts!
