Whilst I am all for conserving the environment and nature, it gets to a point where sometimes common sense has to prevail and I think it is ludicrous that a facility like this can be exposed to such fire risk for the sake of conserving a few hundred trees amongst 10's of thousands, or more, in that National Park. The trees are replaceable, the facility isn't. This was a case of when it was going to suffer fire damage, not if.

Absolutely. Ludicrous. Frankly, stupid.
