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.

Also, with track closures, many state parks are inaccessible to people for traditional recreation, making them only accessible to bad actors who don’t care about track closures and vehicle restrictions.
