TT visitors and locals are being asked to ride responsibly when exploring the Island's greenways.
In the last week the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has become aware of groups of trail riders straying from the upland tracks.
Four visiting riders have been apprehended whilst riding near to Snaefell. Another four riders were stopped from riding over heathland below the Varandah.
Wardens and police are patrolling the hills and the Mountain Road.
Graeme Watson is the access and recreation officer - he says it's affecting wildlife in the area:
