I am going to send some letters to local land owners asking for permission to collect on their land. In order to make it look like i'm not a crazy bloke with a spade i am going to point out that i will not be collecting any plant contained in schedule 8 of the wildlife & countryside act and propose a sensible quota of no more than 5 trees per quarter. They're only going to buldose the lot and build houses on it so it should be fine.

Do your research first and find out what is on the protected species list in your area, 'protected under federal law' as rockm mentioned.
