- ledauphin 4y agoI feel profound sadness that there is no legal equivalent in the US. What a beautiful, humane concept.
- prawn 4y agoThe endless signs about trespassing in wild parts of the USA are pretty grim. I understand why they do it, but it feels so adversarial and ugly.
- elihu 4y agoAs I went walking I saw a sign there, And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing. That side was made for you and me. https://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/This_Land.htm https://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/This_Land.htm

- ekidd 4y agoThe US state of Vermont actually has a constitutional right to hunt on open, private lands. This dates from the original state constitution. If you don't want people hunting in your woods, you have several options. The simplest is to post an exclusion zone around your dwelling. But posting an entire large woodlot with "No Hunting" signs is a deliberately awful process. The signs must surround the entire boundary, and they must have a recent date. They must also be registered with the town. https://vtfishandwildlife.com/learn-more/landowner-resources/private-land-and-public-access/what-posting-means https://vtfishandwildlife.com/learn-more/landowner-resources... In practice, it's very rare for people to post large woods.
