If the Danes owned the property today instead of donating it, it still wouldn't be open to the public... the fact that they did donate it to LRCT, but want to keep it in a 'natural state' and unused seems like a pretty generous thing to me...
It is all about choice, as BroadHopper points out, they wanted to do something different with their property and donated it to the town, still a very generous donation and people can enjoy it...
From my perspective any property donation to the town, to LRCT, to a State Forest, etc is a very noble and generous idea, and helps to preserve a limited resource (after all there are still plenty of opportunities for developers to buy property for development e.g. Kona)...
Kudos to both Broadhopper's family and the Danes!!!
