Is climbing trees legal

l really like climbing this old, gnarled magnolia growing in the graveyard of the church behind my house. l got a bad feeling when l was climbing it, and yesterday there was a police car there! l do not know if it was for me-there were two police cars at the beginning of the summer, and he left and did not return today, but still...
l know that the church is private property, but dogwalkers trespass there all the time and no one gets upset. l know people are concerned for my safety, but my dad wo not sue them if l fall (even if he is a lawyer) and l know all about how to climb safe. Climbing this tree makes me feel closer to God. l know the church will never give me permission to go up, though, so what should l do? l really love this tree, and I am not hurting anyone by going up. I am a safe climber, and I've never fallen, but l REALLY do not wanna get in trouble. So should l just try to sneak up now and then? This is my favorite place in the world....
l also do not know if they would give me permission, since l am a minor. Furthermore, l do not know if my dad would be willing to sign the paper. My stepmom and mom both agree with treeclimbing, but I am not sure if my dad does and l do not know if my stepmom is my legal guardian (my mom isn't.) Plus, she'd probably ask my dad before signing.

Only, as long the place, means and intentions are legal and nice.

Quit worrying. IF they do not want you there, and IF they call the cops, chances are they'd only tell you to leave. If you come back after that, all bets are off.

since your dad is a lawyer, ask him
