Vermont has a long tradition of open land
There’s a protracted custom in Vermont of open land being accessible for strolling, mountaineering, fishing and looking until posted. If house owners don’t need individuals to make use of their land for any of those functions it’s as much as them to publish it.
A lot of the Vermont open land is in present use or varied trusts or state possession, which reduces the taxes for the proprietor. For the reason that discount in tax income must be made up by the remainder of us, permitting public use of the land appears becoming.
As an proprietor of a tree farm in Peacham that’s been within the household for over 100 years, now we have at all times left our land open to all and have by no means seen any unwell results. Mechanically posting all land by default as this commentary suggests does nothing to guard the land or setting. It’s a foul concept.
