I'm very ignorant in this regard so I could be totally wrong. I would be nervous that by doing this you would be setting a legal precedent that is now public domain.

In Vermont any land that is not legally posted is already free for the public to traverse across.
Unless there is an easement or other legally binding access agreement, the landowner can choose to close the land via posting at any time.
Opening your land is the default.

Yup, 100% correct. Post it or they will come...

Yeah I didn't mean that. I meant once you create a municipal commitee, are you saying you're land is now public owned?

Absolutely not.
Also I think you are misconstruing my post. Many municipalities have recreation committees that help the town and townspeople interface with trails etc. they can be a helpful resource for communicating about using private land for recreation.

OK that's good. I wasn't sure I just didn't want IP to lose his family land.
