To me the answer is quite straight forward. If illegal trespass is creating the damage then that trespass has to be stopped! If it can't, then there must be a severe weakness in that trespass law or it simply isn't being tested.
Laws can't solve all social problems. It's just not possible without a police state and coppers on every street. How, just for starters, would you even go about apprehending people who were climbing the hill? Assuming you just captured them on camera, how would you identify them? Regardless of whether prosecutions SHOULD take place, it's simply not practical and will never happen.

Very well put, and it's a great fact isn't it, i'd die fighting against any police state [we're not quite in one yet].

How about erecting an animal proof fence and housing half a dozen lions in there :-)
