Do your own research OP but I can tell you that Vermont does not have a history of caselaw supporting permissive easements.

Vermont has strong property rights and asking a community organization to make you some signs and let folks know they need to behave properly will do absolutely nothing to jeopardize property rights.

Have some faith in your community that it's members (on the whole) want to do the right thing, respect your land, and enjoy the outdoors (in that order).

Yeah, my dad spent 20+ years coordinating a 10k Nordic ski loop around town. Relations with owners granting access has always been important since… it’s their land.

Permissive use usually comes with liability protection.

OP, just post it and start recording anyone you confront, to keep a record for repeat offenders.

Land laws and policies are pretty clear in VT when it comes to posting and using private land. Why are you commenting on a subject in a states specific sub if you have no experience with how things are done in this state? If you had mentioned you’re not familiar with VT at the top of your comment, that would be different. But you didn’t, the first half of your comment comes off like you know what your talking about, when in fact you don’t.
