Standard Conditions That Apply To All Permits
No collection of any Endangered, Threatened, or Regional Forester’s Sensitive species is allowed.
FW Standard 57: Collection of botanical products within 50 feet of a perennial or intermittent stream is subject to the following restrictions.

• Collection within this zone is limited to those species that cannot feasibly be collected on upland sites (i.e. no collection of Rhododendron allowed within riparian areas because it can be collected on upland sites).

FW Standard 58. Commercial moss collection, and moss collection for other than approved scientific purposes, is prohibited.

When collecting any product that involves whole plant removal, take no more than 30% of any discreet population. When taking foliage, take no more than 10% from any single plant.
