Enforcing landowner boundaries in remote areas relies on actively identifying boundary markers and patrolling to catch violations. Wardens don’t wait for tips alone; they move through the terrain using trucks, ATVs, and even aircraft to cover large, hard-to-reach places. They look for the signals that indicate a boundary is posted—purple paint stripes on trees or posts and posted signs along the boundary. When they find a recreational vehicle on land that’s clearly posted, they can apply the appropriate penalties, such as civil citations or Class E charges for trespass or related violations. This combination of mobility, boundary markers, and formal penalties makes it possible to enforce remote boundaries effectively, rather than relying solely on reports or signage that might be overlooked or damaged.
