Scratch your head, ponder a while. Make of it what you will.
I have two issues with this media release.
If you look closely at the image there are some incredibly large lumps of wood which are clearly not walking sticks. There are also a lot of really poor looking sticks in the pile which I suspect a walker would not willingly choose. What is the mass under the pile like?
Secondly if Parks staff left the sticks at the trail heads, walkers would recycle one of these sticks for their direction of travel and hence not contribute to the removal of wood. End of argument. Back to real work for Parks staff, Game, Set and Match. Don’t bother me with your social media posts.
