[Talk-us] National Forests and Private Ownership

[Bradley White]

Yes I understand that, that is what the landuse tag is for. Private
land should tagged as private. Public land should be tagged as public.
The 'access' tag is probably preferable for this, and it's what I use.
My point is that none of this involves the NF boundary, and to please
leave it alone because it's a pain to fix problems with it.

For example, unless posted otherwise, I can go anywhere on National Forest government owned lands, and I can camp anywhere as long as I am not within a certain distance of a road or stream.  I can't do those things on private land. So access=private, ownership=private?
