Went for a hike yesterday on private property that’s been opened for public access to a shoal. It’s a beautiful area. The only request from the owner is to leave no trash behind. Seems consistent with value for value to me.

The amount of litter was baffling.

People are nothing if not walking contradictions. To care enough about nature to visit it, but not enough to preserve it. Something is broken in folks. My hope is that it can be mended one day.
