When we were out in the forest last week we noticed that the troll that had been stolen from the old 'monster walk' has now been replaced. The original is in my blog of the walk last November

here.

This is the new guy:

So we took the dogs along the trail and discovered a number of new pieces (and another replacement for an old friend – a fanged snake opposite the crested snake)

The woodwoozes by Roe's Wellhave been joined by a magnificent sleeping wolf:

While further along the path to the skull pile, where the major part of the sculpture thefts took place, there's a now a carved eye:

And a lurking tiger head.

Hopefully they'll last as long as the woodwoozes.

Who owns the paths? Can he/she/they place trail cams along the way to catch any pilfering putzes in the act of stealing what was meant to be enjoyed by everyone?

If trail cams are too pricey, they can always put up empty boxes in obvious places to LOOK like trail cams.

:D

It's owned by the local council, but managed by the Woodland Trust (who installed the sculptures). They're designed to decay so the cost of cameras, or fakes would be prohibitive. On the other hand I wish they would install cameras at 'Woodhenge' in another part of the Forest - which is a circle of natural history sculptures used as an open air classroom by local schools - and a rubbish dump by the local tramps and kids - on Monday mornings the place is littered with cans and broken bottles.
