I saw an Otter in the orchard!

Quote:Those are also the people who put the Larsen traps down years ago.

This tells us what the people are like. If they put out Larsen traps then they would have no use for an otter.  The otter is protected so reporting him puts them on notice. They better not let harm come to the otter.

If they push it  and try to ban you, it might backfire and you and anyone else will be able to walk on the land forever.

I like the idea of easements. It is friendly to let your neighbours cut across your land.
