An Okehampton outdoor school is appealing to vandals who have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to their site to stop immediately and set their actions right.

The Forest School in Moyses Lane was vandalised on the evening of Thursday, April 6 — this being the fourth time the site has been targeted in recent months and second time in the space of two weeks, with another, less severe, incident occurring the week before on Monday, March 27.

The most recent incident to date has been the most extreme, with property damaged and stolen, trees being cut into and felled entirely and special buildings made for the site being completely destroyed.
