About this event
An egg-themed Wild Families special for the holidays!
This self-led trail around the reserve, alongside guided activity stations, will test your nest building skills, allow you to learn more about eggs in nature and give you a chance to produce some egg-cellent Easter crafts. This is an Easter egg hunt with a difference!
