Tree damage rant !

[Radix lecti]

Hi, the local Scuffers have been camping again in the woods on a hill near me,i came across this site the other day(the area is classified as a country park ) . Why do they have to do so much damage ? If you want to light a fire light one but dont cut down half of the woods to do it .I know they have every right to be there the same as you or me,but i just get P%$$ed of with seeing it,by the looks of the abortive tree felling its lucky no one was killed. How do you feel about this sort of damage?,i know this type of behaviour happens in urban areas too but is nothing sacred.

GRRRR

grrrrrr, im a town dweller and all i can say is "********* townies" A serious injury would hopefully either educate them or atleast clean the gene pool

Pity the trunks fell the right way and didn't brain the senseless oafs.

trouble is that these tearaways will one day have offspring who will probably be failures like there parents regards dave

 

[Shewie]

That's tragic, I hope one of them had a trip to casualty for their troubles.

Are those chainsaw or hand saw cuts ?

My life, That realy is bad,

Seeing as this is a family forum I can't say exactly what I thought when I saw all that damage, it's simply horrific

Are those chainsaw or hand saw cuts ?

Got to be hand saw cuts as there's no sign of the sawdust that you'd get from a chainsaw. Plus they'd probably have cut a load more down if they'd had a chainsaw

 

[Radix lecti]

Yes they were saw cuts, but these trees were the worst of the damaged,there must have been about 6 or 7 other trees stripped of bark or struck with an axe,they had even cleared a path in the nettles to get to some of them.

If there's one thing that gets my blood boiling its damage like that.
Ive come to blows a couple of times with people who ive caught in the act of tree destruction,ive even got one nextdoor who thought it was a good idea to cut dowm some native trees on someone else's land to plant some exotic rubbish.
Nipped that in the bud ill tell you.
Scum is the only polite term i can use here.

Bloody hell! what a mess! The place a wander near home had a big problem with idiots but a few people stopped them and they now still use the area but with respect the same way as all of us. I suppose if you haven't got the guidance to tell you what its right and wrong, then you watch extreme loggers on telly this is the kind of destruction you can expect.

You should report this damage to the landowner and your local forest authority. This type of behaviour brings all forest users into disrepute. By reporting the incident and damege you draw a firm distinction between you and the type of people who did this.
There is a clear danger that bushcrafters could be lumped into the same general bracket as these people.
