You hit the nail on the head. :R
Oh, but I hope it was not going into what "treehuggers" call "wood". :B

I guess it's because they are carrying pruning shears and tree trimmers with them to make them fit...

While I thank and commend you for your civic duty, I'd still report you to any authority there - to make sure credentials and authorizations were in order.
Just s long as John Q. SixPack doesn't get the idea that it's open season in State Parks and Federal Parks - where I believe your credentials don't mean squat.

Always interesting to see someone doing someone else's job for them.

So, you're THAT guy!
You sure you're just placing the trimmings away from you for ambiance, or are you just hiding the evidence?
If I'm ever camping next to someone like you at a State campground or a National Park and they do this and I see it - you are getting reported by me SO FAST it would make your head spin!

I can believe that.

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.

Seriously, one probably should have permission before too much tree trimming goes on, unless it happens to fall around December 25.

If you can't fit into your site comfortably for you then either move to another site or another campground. You don't own that tree.
Or... better yet ... definitely ask the management if you can trim a few branches. Most often they'll come and do it for you or at least give you permission to do it. This is what we do and have never been refused.
However, it's not right to just go in and start trimming on your own without asking...especially being sneaky (knowing you're doing something wrong) and doing it when no one is looking.:)
