However, researchers on the subject advocate the specific use of the color purple as it stands out in a natural setting, is not already used in the forestry industry and it is a hue that is recognizable for colorblind individuals. In addition to this, a number of other states such as North Carolina, Maine, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Arizona and Kansas also have in place similar statutes with the slight difference in the use of color. In other states which have enacted similar legislation such as Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, one can see this reduction of occurrences in action. Under this bill, this shortcoming of the standard posted sign is ultimately eliminated, or at the very least, dramatically lessens the likelihood of such obstruction occurring. The constant repair and/or reinstallation of these signs and fences adds an extra, and burdensome, expense to property owners. Aside from the physical and timely demands of maintaining these signs, one must also consider the economic demands. Trespassers can easily vandalize these posted signs in a way which would free them of any accountability for unlawfully laying foot on another’s property, most commonly in instances of hunting. The prime defect of this technique of delineating property lines is a sign’s ability to be tampered with and/or removed completely. However, as time has passed, it is clear to see that this conventional method comes with some faults, which this legislation seeks to amend. The reasoning behind the existing law’s provisions is rational, as most people would initially assume that the best way of conveying any sort of message is through the posting of a sign. You can also get a glimpse of these trees at Keanae Arboretum, one of the stops that will come later in your journey. This location is not really a stop per se, as there really isnt much room to pull over. This bill would allow property owners to place purple paint markings on trees as an alternative to the current method of defining one’s property through posted signs. These trees have a unique bark that appears to have been hand-painted shades of red, purple and green.
