A lessee of public trust lands and the lessee's agents and employees are immune from civil liability for or on account of damages or injuries to any person resulting from the board's allowing access to the leased trust land by the public for recreational or wildlife purposes without the lessee's approval so long as the damages or injuries are not the result of lessee's or lessee's agents or employees willful or wanton conduct or gross negligence. Assent by the lessee to any plan approved by the board that allows access over which the lessee has no control does not constitute approval by the lessee.
