Public Land Access being removed by Federal Government for decades

I’m 57 and since I was a kid the Federal Government has been increasingly shutting down access to public lands that belong to We the People. Primarily it is USDA Forest Service but it’s not limited to them. This access removal is all done under the “guise” of conserving wildlife habitat or some other nonsensical reason like that. Bottom line those lands, whether considered federal or state, belong to the people NOT the government. Specifically used are gates across roads or “so called kelly humps” to block access to roads in back country areas.
These roads were originally used for forest management and in most cases that is why they even exist. With that in mind it was tax money that was used to create these roads at one point.
Blocking access to any public land road by any government entity federal or state is unacceptable. Please elevate this and give we the people access to the beautiful lands that belong to us and STOP this government overreach.
