That's what nonsensical libertarian dogma insists, sure, but that pseudo-religious tripe has no relation to or bearing on reality.
Property is created when someone uses force to claim ownership of something. That's it. Anything else is post-hoc justification for said claim. You can indeed own that untouched forest if you can hold it with force. That's the ultimate basis of property, no matter how libertarians try to mask it: the imposition of force on the existing natural world to create artificial division of ownership.
