Large-scale conservation easements are a tremendous PITA for the adjoiners. This is mainly caused by "visitors" to the easement area trespassing routinely across the adjoiners' lands.
Trespassers are becoming a far too familiar occurrence. Last week I sent my farm helper to till a couple fields about three miles from my house. I receive a text from him with a license plate number and a county name. Had no idea why? Learned later he couldn't get off the road into the first field because of vehicle with that plate was blocking the drive. Three children were visible sort of roaming around willy nilly across the field but no adult was in sight. He revved up the tractor a few times to hopefully get some attention, then started to walk towards the children. Finally, a guy appears out of the rough pasture area about 1000 feet from the vehicle. He comes hiking across the field with binoculars hanging around his neck, but, empty-handed. Tries to walk right on past my guy as if he wasn't there. That did not work. My guy demanded to know if he had permission to be on the property and asked who the property owner was. The guy said he was simply searching for sheds (deer antlers), rounded up his kids and drove away. The next morning I filed a report with the County Sheriff's Office and supplied them with the license plate number. Later that day, a deputy came out and walked all over searching for evidence of anything suspicious. Based on the license plate county, this idiot had traveled a bare minimum of 25 miles and up to 70 miles one way to go wandering around on my property. This begs the question of how many other properties has he done this on before getting all the way to this property of mine.
Two not so funny stories. One day a week earlier, shed hunters had stumbled on the remnants of a dead body in the first county west of me. The very next day, shed hunters stumbled onto a dead body in the first county north of me.
I really hate people who block driveways and gates.
For the owners too. I had a client that was trying to get out of one. The cost was prohibitive. It's a lucrative business.
