Get out and explore your local forest preserves in search of eggs!
We have hidden large, creatively painted concrete eggs throughout the Champaign County Forest Preserves! Click below to download the checklist to see which eggs are at which preserves, or visit our social media pages: Facebook and Instagram to view the checklist.
Want to be more adventurous and mysterious and skip the checklist, but still want to know which preserves we've hidden the eggs in and how many eggs are at each preserve!? Here you go:
Take a picture with the eggs and share them with us on our Facebook and Instagram pages using the hashtag #champaignforestsegghunt. Happy hunting!
Ready to have fun exploring in nature? Check out these exploration activity guides by season. These activities can be done at the forest preserves or your own backyard. Activities are appropriate for ages 7-12 but younger and older may enjoy these activities too.
