There isn’t much the average citizen can do about this.
You can get a permit to collect firewood, so it isn’t illegal, and without a judicial authority, you can’t call out someone you meet in a state forest and ask to see their permit.

This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
