Event Details

Join us for an egg-citing afternoon of creativity, nature, and wildlife! Hop into a fun-filled mini Easter egg hunt, unleash your creativity with all-natural egg dyeing, and meet one of Wildlands Conservancy’s adorable resident rabbits in a special up-close wildlife encounter!

Hop into the Mini Easter Egg Hunt!

Begin the afternoon with an adventure through the beautiful grounds of Wildlands Conservancy. Search for eco friendly eggs and win fun prizes! This activity is perfect for all ages and will set the tone for a day of springtime excitement.

The Art of Natural Egg Dyeing

Ditch the artificial dyes and embrace the beauty of nature with an eco-friendly egg-decorating experience. Participants will use colors made from real plants, just like people did for centuries.

  • Spinach creates soft green hues
  • Purple carrot gives a delicate violet tone
  • Turmeric adds a golden yellow glow
  • Beet produces a brilliant pink
  • Red cabbage transforms into deep blue

Learn how early cultures used plants to create natural dyes while experimenting with leaf pressings, wax-resist techniques, and creative patterns to make each egg unique.

HARD-BOILED EGGS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED. We recommended that each participant bring a carton of pre-hardboiled eggs.

Up-Close with a Real Rabbit

Nothing says springtime like a curious, twitchy-nosed bunny. Meet one of Wildlands Conservancy’s resident rabbits up close and discover the fascinating world of wild and domestic bunnies.

  • Learn how rabbits burrow and care for their young
  • Discover what makes them such quick and clever creatures in the wild
  • Find out why their teeth never stop growing
  • Enjoy a hands-on petting opportunity if our rabbit is comfortable with visitors

This program will take place outdoors if weather permits, so dress appropriately for spring conditions.
