A bear hunt in the woods of a Moray town has brought joy to the community amid the coronavirus crisis.
Shelley Ritchie and daughter Taylor created the Lossie Woods Bear Hunt to put smiles on the faces of local families while out for their daily exercise.
The pair have placed 20 teddy bears along a path in the woods at the back of the town’s football ground Grant Park.
Their Facebook page has attracted over 5300 visitors with many families posting pictures after going on the trail.
Mrs Ritchie said that the trail was part of her homeschooling timetable to show her kids the positive impact people can have on the community.
She said: “As part of our homeschooling timetable we have introduced some activities that help with lifeskills and make them grow into independent people.
“One of the activities I labelled as community work where I wanted to show the kids that doing something in the community would have a positive impact.
“Also, it can make people happy.”
She added that they had a few ideas up their sleeves after receiving such a positive response.
She said: “The hunt has been really good.
“It has worked really well and it is to get people out spending time with their families.
“We are taking it down on Tuesday, but we already have things in place to either move the teddy bears to somewhere else or do something different.”
