Its the same everywhere. My favourite sleeping place gets striped from wood to build fires, even though there is more than enough dry beech around this hut.
Now that is just silly.

That is quite simply criminal damage ( apolice, not civil matter). These people have no right of access to your land (thankfully).
I suggest a few well placed trail cameras should soon provide a positive ID to the police - mine are startlingly good. Run three months on one set of batteries and photograph everyone who passes within twenty feet (including in the dark).

senseless violence, I and many more i guess would like to confront these idiots with some summary justice. Re-educate them with some of the damaged birch and see how keen they would be to continue. As always the few spoil it for the many. I hope you can get things back in shape and hope it doesn't happen again
Nothing like treating senseless violence with senseless violence eh.
that would really boil my p*** too mate! I feel your pain it happens on the reserves I look after...at least they are public spaces but sorry you have had to deal with it on land you own! Unfortunatley I can't help but feel that this sort of thing is going to increase with the way things are going. People thinking that the countryside is a cheap alternative to to "regular" holiday and far to many people are ignorant of how damaging they are to the places they visit.
good luck with the FC grant. I helped secure a 4 year grant for a park I look after. We are thinning plantations that were way to dense and manage the meadows. the main aim has been to improve the woodlands for birds. You meet with a chap called Mike by any chance??

Which cameras are you using please?
I'm hopefully going up there Sunday morning before the F1 to see if anyone has been up to mischief on either Friday or Saturday night. Cameras may be my only option. Thanks, Paul
