- edible plants, wild mushrooms, fruits and nuts;
- medicinal plants and fungi;
- floral greenery and horticultural stock;
- fiber, oil resins, and other chemical extracts from plants, lichens, and fungi;
- and many other things.
As federal property, non-wood forest products require a permit to legally harvest and remove them from the Forests and Grasslands where they are located. This helps us protect endangered habitat, prevent overharvesting, and preserve our public lands for future generations!
Pricing and quantities permitted for harvesting can vary based on the type of product and the intended use, so call your local Forest Service office to inquire about the costs and limits associated with these permits.
