Write a commentOn Sunday, November 17th at 1:00 p.m., the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is celebrating America Recycles Day!
The 4-H educators will host a hands-on program reusing empty, cleaned out animal feed bags to be sewn and turned into a reusable grocery or tote bag. This program is intended for intermediate sewers of all ages; individuals should be able to sew straight lines. Participants can either bring their own feed bag that has been washed with dish detergent to remove the oils or use one of 4-H’s. The price for this program is $10 if the individual is bringing their own sewing machine, notions, and feed bag, or $15 if using a 4-H machine, notions, and feed bag. Once registered, participants will receive a confirmation email with additional information. Registration is required as space is limited. Find registration and more information on this program and others at http://thatscooperativeextension.org/events.
Stop by for this great program or head out on the trails on your own time. The trails are open from dawn to dusk, 365 days of the year. There is no parking fee and there is a map of the trails when you arrive. The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it!
The Center is located at 748 State Route 183 in eastern Oswego County, between Routes 13 and 69 near Williamstown.
