Becca  – I loved today especially as we went orienteering at Brodick Castle. I managed not to get lost! Big achievement for me!

Connor – I loved chopping down rhododendrons as part of a conservation exercise. This will go towards our John Muir Awards.

Leo – Rhododendrons were brought to Brodick Castle from Turkey and Iberia during the Victorian times and unfortunately they have now taken over a large area of land. We have helped conserve natural trees by chopping down the rhododendrons so our native plants can grow better.
