Gate lock with bolt marked

Pedestrian gate with additional 'hidden' bolts marked.

On a cycle and again the gates are 'locked' by obfuscation on the Bavelaw estate. This happened a lot before. The bolt has been tightened so much the lock is immovable. On the second pedestrian gate they have added 2 hidden bolts to the hinge so it can't be opened! #landaccess #scotland #pentlands

Rural Vermont warns conservation planning may leave farmland unprotected, calls for broader land‑access reforms Caroline Sherman Borden told the committee that conservation planning under Act 51 and regional mapping under Act 181 have proceeded with inadequate agricultural input, and that conservation easements alone may not keep land affordable or available for future farmers; she urged substantive land‑access reform.

Vermont's conservation planning is at risk of sidelining farmers, with calls for more representation and urgent reforms to protect our agricultural lands for future generations.
