Chocolate, trees and the great outdoors – what’s not to like? The Woodland Trust is inviting people to visit its woods and have a go at one of its Easter Egg Hunts.
Christina Joachim, of the Woodland Trust, said: “Easter egg hunts are a great excuse to get outdoors and I’d encourage any family to come along. Spring is the perfect time to start exploring, as it’s when everything comes back to life after the winter.” So why not blow away the winter cobwebs and head into spring with the Woodland Trust?
There are several events across the country, all of which need to be booked beforehand. The trails take around an hour to complete and are free for adults:
Low Burnhall near Durham, on Friday, March 30 from 11am.
Children are urged to pick up a trail sheet and then help our woodland ranger find all the things he has lost on his spring walk. If kids find all the items listed they get an Easter treat back at the start. The event costs £2.50 per child (under 5s go free).
