The Woodcock Nature Center will host a Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt for families on Saturday, April 12 (rain date of Sunday, April 13), and Spring Break Adventures for kids every day from April 14 to 18.
Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt is a day of family fun, including a hayride down the quarter-mile driveway to trails, where there will be an Easter egg-hunting hike.
Participants can 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. Recommended for ages 2 to 7, but all are welcome.
Particpants should bring a basket to hold eggs.
Refreshments will be available for purchase. Reservations and prepayment are required (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 to 12:30, 12:45 to 1:15, 1:30 to 2, 2:15 to 2:45, and 3 to 3:30.
