  • Can I forage in the parks?

    Question

    Is it legal to sustainably forage in the parks?

    Naturalist's Response

    No — Section 4 of our Rules & Regulation states:

    CULTURAL AND NATURAL FEATURES, COLLECTING
    No person shall destroy, disturb, deface or remove any natural, archaeological or cultural feature from any area within the Park. No person shall collect any animal including birds, inverte-brates (including mollusks), non-game fi sh, amphibians and reptiles or plant material in any area of the Park without written permission of the Executive Director, except leaves that have dropped from trees may be collected for educational purposes and game fish may be taken as designated in Section 12 “Hunting, Trapping and Fishing.”

    Thanks for asking!
