'Leave No Trace' is a foreign concept on the mainland, isn't it?

BUT making bush structures and shelters has no effect on the bush, all such structures rot down and become part of the soil in time, it would only be cutting green and standing timber that would have any negative effects. just for the record I do not condone cutting down trees in public areas although doing so in some areas at some times would do very little harm
