Forestry England said it would work with police and the National Park Authority to "deter and detect the culprits"
Wykeham and Langdale Forests, on the North York Moors, have faced "significant" damage from vehicles in recent months, the organisation said. Nigel Foster, wildlife manager for the Yorkshire district of Forestry England, said the use of unauthorised vehicles had "damaged the natural environment". Mr Foster urged people to heed the ban "so the forest's natural habitat can recover" and pledged that trespassers would be penalised.Forest Ranger Ben Jackson said there were "several hotspots where this activity can endanger wildlife and habitats, damage fragile surfaces and cause conflict with other responsible users".
South Yorkshire is plagued by them. Beautiful walks damaged and footpaths laid to make the countryside accessible to everyone, made impassable
