Woodcock Nature Center is planning a Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt for families on Saturday, April 12, and Spring Break Adventures for kids every day April 14-18.
Participants in the spring celebration will take a hayride down the quarter-mile driveway to the trails to go on an egg-hunting hike. Next, participants may meander over to the scenic pavilion to color collected eggs, whip up some seasonal nature-crafts to celebrate the arrival of spring, and visit the resident animals in the Nature Center.
It is recommended for ages 2 to 7, but all are welcome. Bring a basket to hold eggs.
Refreshments will be available for purchase. Reservations and prepayment are required and non-refundable: $12 per child for members; $15 per child for non-members. Families will need to sign up for an arrival time slot: 12-12:30; 12:45-1:15; 1:30-2; 2:15-2:45 and 3-3:30.
Rain date for Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt is Sunday, April 13.
