Anyone Carry Tree Trimmer?
This summer I have encountered two campgrounds with branches that need to be trimmed in order to get into the site with my RV. In one, I tore off small branches while maneuvering to get into the site...

Report me for WHAT?
I have done volunteer work in a 90,000+ acre state park for years. We trim trees/brush all the time for the state - on our own "dime", by the way - our own high clearance 4X4 pickup truck (not SUV), our own gas, our own saw(s), our own other tools, our own food and drink, our own sleeping gear, our own water, our own sunburns, our own sweat, etc., etc.. I've never deducted a single $$ for this at income tax time.
We're been told by the state rangers to merely deposit the trimmings out of sight in already brushy areas so the trimmings blend in .... just like I would do when camping in a public CG with our RV.
What about the above don't you understand? Obviously some dissenters above have never been involved in real volunteer work that required the maintaining of accessibility, safety, and beautiful ambiance of public recreation areas.
I commend you for your volunteer work.
As a volunteer, you were working on behalf of and under the approval of the state park. That doesn't authorize you to freelance at any other state or national park or forest.
