Paintballzones Destroying Woodland

Overgrown kids fireing paint at each other is destroying flaura and fauna in our woodland

One paintball I visited called the paintballzone.co.uk had over 100 old cable reels with old telegraph poles on them to look like artillary.Every tree was covered in paint and leafless.Large trenches had been dug everywere.And uncountable numbers of tyres ranging from cars to JCB were everywere.Ramshackle villages built of plywood treated with chemicals to stop rot.But worst of all it had attracted the 4 wheel drive mob.As it got dark 12 landrovers turned up and drove across cultivated fields into the paintball.They tore around in there untill the early hours of the morning.Knocking trees down and tearing up the terrain.The woods looked just like the aftermath of a battlefield.
