Appeal Over Illegal Timbering

Forestry Commission officers were called to an incident on the forest track behind Vicarage Terrace, Cwmparc, on Friday, January 29 following a complaint that trees has been left in dangerous positions. It appears that unknown individuals had cut down several pine trees, blocking the track in the process. Sergeant Andrew Scourfield, who is currently seconded to Forestry Commission Wales, said: "This incident could have resulted in serious injury or worse, if one of these trees had fallen on a walker or cyclist," he continued "Not only are the people responsible for this stupid act putting the public and forest workers’ lives at risk they are also committing a criminal offence by damaging Forestry Commission property."
