'Eggcellent' spring trail for Wokingham youngsters
Wokingham Children can discover the natural treasures of Dinton Pastures as part of springtime trail around the park, which will include worm hunting and nurturing giant eggs!
The country park in Hurst is offering youngsters the chance to take part in the Spring Trail, organised by Wokingham Borough Council’s countryside service, on Wednesday April 9, where they will be able to explore Dinton Pastures by following a trail around it and completing activities along the way before earning a tasty treat at the end.
Tasks along the way will include incubating giant eggs and hunting for worms to feed hungry chicks. A variety of questions with a spring theme will also be testing young minds before they reach the end of the trail – where a surprise treat awaits them.
Lynn Yardley, Wokingham countryside ranger, said: “This is a great opportunity for youngsters to get out and about during the school holidays and have some fun while learning all about nature.
“There will be plenty to do including worm hunting as well as many questions and puzzles to get children thinking all about spring time. Plus there’s a treat waiting at the end of the trail too!”
Maps for the spring quest will be available from 1pm to 3pm from the park’s café garden. Children of all ages are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. There is a £2 fee per child for the trail.
