Non-Wood Forest Products

Those wishing to collect products such as seeds, pine cones, plant specimens, mistletoe and other forest products are required to obtain a permit before removing anything from National Forest land. Permits may not be available in all areas. The permit will tell you where you may collect and any restrictions which may apply.

Forest Products Request and Guidelines Form

Contact the Ranger Station in the area you would like to visit to find out how to obtain your permit. Permit requests will need such information such as the collector's name, address and vehicle information, as well as amount and proposed location of collection. Some permits will have an associated fee depending on type and product amount. Be sure to plan ahead, as some permits require advance notice of several weeks.
