That can be interpreted both ways. Keeping people off the land is also a type of abuse, as is misuse of the land by a large amount of people roaming there.

That could more or less be true for unimproved land.

Improved land had has an investment in time and money to make it productive one way or another.

“Improved land”? This terminology is loaded and lopsided.

Like If someone bought and put a fenced in corn field or tract house in Yosemite valley, it would be “improved land” by the usual definition
