'Egg-citing' outdoor adventures

Trails, scavenger hunts, crafts and recipes.  
 

Go on an Easter egg hunt!

Decorate some hard-boiled eggs, or use foiled-wrapped mini chocolate eggs, and hide them for friends and family to find.

Woods are brilliant places for a family egg hunt because they're full of nooks and crannies to hide them in. Find a one near you:

Kids too old for egg hunts? 

Give geocaching a go! It's treasure hunting the whole family will enjoy. Find out all about it and discover a geocache near you at www.geocaching.com
