That's fantastic! I feel like that should be the law everywhere. It's kind of accepted in the US that unless posted "no trespassing", you can wander about in rural areas, without trouble, as long as you don't get too close to houses and such. But, the law definitely sides with property owners if they put up a sign saying keep out.

But, to put things into perspective, the BLM and the Forest Service have more land under management than nearly all of the Nordic countries combined (BLM and Forest Service have nearly 3 million sq km under management). And, the much of that land can be roamed, at will; some of it can even be camped on for long periods of time at little or no cost. So, there's no shortage of land in the US for roaming, though it's concentrated most heavily in the southwest. Northeastern states have been too densely populated for too long to have had a chance to get some protected wilderness.
