A few of the candidates were recently asked what made a place like Grizedale Forest a healthy place to be:
"A place to get exercise"
"Because there are trees there"
"A morning out of school"
"A chance to dig!"
"It's not that healthy when it's raining and cold!"
"We get to play on the adventure playground!"

There was a variety of responses but all those asked did agree that it was generally a healthy place to be.

They were then asked if they felt healthier for being in the Forest:
"It's a chance to get some exercise and when we do ASDAN we are told that exercise is healthy!"
"Yea too right"
"I like working in the forest it makes me use my muscles."

Our candidates have at least one thing in common, they enjoy hard work and learning, and being able to pass on what they have learned to others.
