Forest Products Permits
People enjoy collecting herbs, cones, latillas and other items from National Forest land.
In order to become familiar with the rules, it is always best to check with the Carson National Forest before gathering/collecting items from National Forest land.
All plants on National Forest System lands, from pine cones to the largest trees, belong to the American public. Just as the Forest Service sells timber, harvesting plant materials that are of value must be purchased for a fair market value with the proceeds going to the U.S. Treasury. Permits are sometimes required to provide guidelines for the appropriate collection, make collectors aware of any restrictions in collecting and to display the appropriate fee.
