AMBOY – The public is invited to come delight in the beauty of the forest dressed in her winter finery and inscribed by the woodland inhabitants.

The Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center will begin its Winter 2019 Sunday Woodland Snowshoe Wanders programs on Sundays, January 6, 13, and 20 at 2 p.m.

There is a program fee of $4 per person or $12 per family, and children younger than three are free.

Everyone from age three to 103 years can easily learn to snowshoe.

There will be a short lesson before the snowshoe wander through the center’s woodlands.

Participants are encouraged to dress warmly and in layers.

Snowshoes are provided free to program participants.

Outdoor footwear or winter boots that can be strapped into a snowshoe should be worn. Sneakers and fashion boots with heels do not fit in the straps and will make walking very difficult.

If there is a scarcity of snow, attendees will enjoy a winter boot wander.

Amboy 4-H Environmental Educational Center is located on State Route 183, between routes 13 and 69 in eastern Oswego County.

For information about the facility and its programming, call the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H Office at 315 963 7286.

Cornell Cooperative Extension is an employer and educator recognized for valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities and provides equal program and employment opportunities.
