I know there's a few Floridians that frequent this board, so I'm wondering if any of you know of how I would find an area to collect trees (namely Bald Cypress) from. It seems like the only "ethical" way of doing it is by just happening to know someone who doesn't mind you digging up a few trees from their enormous expanse of land. Since I know this is a pretty rare situation, there must be some other way I could do it, without committing a crime. Of course, the other possibility is that collecting is done with a sort of "they'll never miss this one little tree" attitude, where one sneaks onto the back-end of some state land and digs up a couple beauties. Technically, this is stealing, so I'm hesitant to go out and do it. My only other option is to keep browsing the Flyer in the hopes of seeing a little add that says "1 Bald Cypress - FREE - you dig". But let's face it, I probably won't ever see that, so PLEASE give me some advice in this area!
THANKS
Josh
