Write a commentThe Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center will be presenting several guided snowshoe hikes this month, including a moonlit hike!
The first will take place on Monday, January 16th, at 10:30 a.m. Educators will go over the basics of snowshoes, then the group will head out on their hike.
On Saturday, January 21st, The Paul and Theresa Schoeck Education Building will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for nature lovers of all ages to stop in and explore the facility. Educators will be on-site and lead the guided snowshoe hike at 12:00 p.m. Snowshoes will be available to borrow during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Visit the Center at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, January 27th for a magical moonlit hike through the frosty woods. Nature educators will guide attendees on a snowshoe hike under the first quarter moon (half-moon) through the woodlands.
If there is not enough snow to snowshoe, the groups will go out for a winter hike and learn about winter ecology. Please dress appropriately for whatever the weather may be! Wearing winter boots or winter shoes that are flat are recommended so they can easily be strapped in. Feel free to bring your own snowshoes or borrow the Center’s - there is no additional fee to use the facility's snowshoes.
These programs are designed for nature lovers of all ages; anyone from individuals or families of 10 are encouraged to attend! All youth must be accompanied by an adult. The fee for these programs is only $4 per person, or $12 for a family. Children under the age of three are free! Preregistration is requested.
