Guys like me who have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money to help local restoration efforts?

This doesn't add up to your argument so I have a hard time believing this. If you had this kind of money for philanthropy, why not buy up the property?

Also, just because you do public works doesn't give you access to private land, that's the bottom line. Donating your money and time doesn't make you any less of a law breaker by cutting locks and trespassing. Many criminals that do good for the community but guess what they are still criminals.
