In a distressing turn of events at Cardinham Woods, Forestry England, the cherished Gruffalo sculpture has been subjected to repeated vandalism. The sculpture, which delights countless young visitors and adults alike, was found with its ear and horn brutally torn off.

A Plea for Vigilance

In light of these events, the Rangers are appealing to local visitors to remain vigilant. They ask anyone who notices any suspicious activity around the Gruffalo to report it to the Rangers immediately. This proactive approach aims to prevent further damage and ensure that the beloved sculpture can continue to bring joy to visitors of all ages.

The community’s support is crucial in safeguarding the Gruffalo from further harm. The Rangers hope to repair the sculpture soon and are optimistic that with the help of vigilant visitors, the vandalism will cease.

For those visiting Cardinham Woods, please keep an eye on the Gruffalo and report any untoward behaviour to the Ranger team. Your assistance is greatly appreciated in preserving this beloved figure for future generations to enjoy.
