bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Collecting Wild Trees In California?

Hi there, The moderator of this forum could tell you what you need to know. He lives in the area you live in. Send treebay a personel message, and ask which would be the best club to join for field trips. Most areas in Calif. are illegal to collect on. It takes an act of Congress to get a permit. Some of the clubs have permission to collect trees on private property and those clubs offer field trips as a club function. I live in the Fresno area, and collect with Harry Hirao. I should be getting an "invite" soon come to think of it.....

Hope this helps, Bonsai-al
