Write a commentThe month of March marks the beginning of the intense social interaction among snowshoe hares, the white ghosts of the north woods winter. Intent on courtship, hares increase their activity and range with the lengthening days.
On Sunday, March 22nd at 2:00 pm, the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center will offer Mad Hares of March. Following an indoor presentation on the natural history of snowshoe hares with naturalist Pat Carney, participants will wander through the woodland to look for tracks and other signs of hares.
Participants are encouraged to dress warmly and in layers. The program fee of $4.00 per person (family rate $12.00; children under 3 free) includes snowshoes if there is sufficient snow. Amboy 4-H Environmental Educational Center is located on State Route 183, between Routes 13 and 69 in eastern Oswego County.
