Hi, Maybe I worded a statement poorly. When I said I would wild
collect when I knew a place was to be logged, I was referring to
plants it is legal to collect. Where I live a plant belongs to
whoever owns the property it is growing on. Only a plant listed by
the government as endangered cannot be legally collected if you have
the owners permission. If the plant is listed, then even with
permission it cannot be taken. In order to be listed it must be
shown to be in danger of becoming extinct. I agree that laws should
not be broken. Again it is a moral issue. Even a bad law is still
a law. If everyone can decide for themselves which laws to honor,
then chaos results. Bye, Anita
