2 arrested for illegal camping at Pinewoods

15th March 2021

Two suspects have been processed by the Police for illegally camping, littering and trying to BBQ in the woodlands on the Formby National Trust Site after ignoring a direction to leave by the Rangers.

We would like to remind the public that Sefton coast is a site of special scientific interest and there is a real danger of forest and sand dune fires, as illustrated in Crosby last week. The Animal Wildlife Act and local Bye laws prohibit these activities in order to protect our coastline for our community and future generations while preserving rare and protected wildlife, flora and fauna.
