Come visit the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center for one of our October programming to learn more!
Crisp days and chilly nights create a kaleidoscope of bright oranges, fiery reds, and soft yellows throughout the trails at the nature center. On Saturday, October 16th at 10:00 a.m., join our environmental educator for Shades of Autumn, a guided nature walk where we will discuss why leaves change color, why only certain trees lose their leaves, and more.
Then celebrate Halloween a few days early at the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center learning about Creatures of the Night. Bats, owls, coyotes, and more are animals that use special adaptations to make their way through a mysterious, nocturnal world. On Saturday, October 29th at 3:30 p.m., come learn about these adaptations and how they're able to survive in complete darkness!
