In R.I. the "officials" don't want to be bothered,,, at all.
Plenty of "public acesses" have been closed by bordering property owners. Rights - of - ways that were granfathered in years and years ago are closing at an alarming rates. One gets away with it and others do likewise. The state and towns just don't want any part of it and allow them to get away with it.
I see both side of this coin. Yahoos making all sorts of noise in my yard when I'm trying to sleep would set me off too. Folks trashing my scenic view, Not sticking to paths, parking on lawns or blocking driveways, all these things would piss off the pope.
Sure, it's only a small percentage of slobs doing this,,, but how do you stop them guys and allow others? Nobody want to be confronted with beligerant jerks,, and most of the "trashers' do fall into this catagory,,, so they stop everyone. Just easier that way nothing really personal intended.
Now,, how do we turn that around? I'm open to workable solutions,, but can't honestly think of any.
Once an area is lost,,, it's lost for good.
I know, I live across from a popular "secret pond" and go through it all the time,,, and it's getting worst with time. People just refuse to accept resonsibility anymore for their action. I guess they assume I like filling in tire ruts in my yard?
