Get Active in the Forest
If you go down to the woods today... you'll be spoiled for choice at Rosliston Forestry Centre in Derbyshire, thanks to a whole host of schemes that help people stay active.
The Get Active in the Forest scheme offers a programme of outdoor activities for residents who live near the National Forest and beyond. People of all ages are encouraged to exercise in the picturesque woodland setting.
Assistant Development Manager Tor Pitts says: "During the summer holidays, kids can sign-up for a two week course with a full range of activities so they can experience things they haven't tried before." Activities include orienteering, archery, laser combat games and adventure sports such as rock climbing. lottery funding paid for the cost of sports initiatives at the centre.
Visitors are delighted with the results, and when they can burn off calories on the Trim Trail, join the Senior Cycling Club or take on tough, off-road terrain in the Peddle Power programme, that’s no surprise.
Get Active In The Forest also helps vulnerable members of the community. Its Walking to Health initiative organises 17 supervised walks a week for people with varying levels of fitness.
