Trustees who oversee the management of Wayford Woods near Crewkerne have called for a crackdown on fairy doors.
Children and their parents have taken to brightening up the popular woodland by adding fairy doors to the trunks of trees, but it is getting "out of control."
Steven Acreman said: "We've got little doors everywhere. We're not anti-fairies but it's in danger of getting out of control.
"We've had as many as 10 doors put up on a single tree; they surrounded the tree," he said.
"We had a complete fairy fairground arrive, but we rejected that planning proposal.
"It's a very complex situation and nobody's admitting that they're evicting the fairies.
"It's just that fairy control is required otherwise we'd be covered in fairy doors.
"We put a lot of time into the conservation of the woods. We're trying to keep people to the paths but the fairy doors are making it a free-for-all."
