Logging Insurance

[mometal77]

I got my families property and with it 45 years. We have water rights out back with the ecology dept and have used the side road for even before there was a road into our property.  This one logging corporation wants me to have a 5 yr license and insurance for 1 million dollars. I did hire an attorney but i think it is an up hill battle.  Here everyone has a key but me to the gate now and everyone goes out back to get wood on the weekends that are family related. Even 2 neighbors have an easement the company uses and they have keys and not required to have insurance.  Any advice in dealing with this would be appreciated. I was told that they can put this in court even without me knowing the court is going on.  With probate.  I still think i have a prescriptive easement.   See the water that comes off the hill feeds into a power plant that goes into a pond then alongside the ditch.  The company logged a hill destroying part of the line last spring and I had to fix it and they got upset.  They do not own the land that borders my land that is on a neighbors land for the access.  Has anyone gone through with this before? I was looking at insurance 2300 for one year and afraid of a 5 yr license after that at 50 dollars a year they can take that away i am presuming.
