Re: Collecting seeds from the wild

Fran,

In a local class on PNW native plants, the instructor's handouts say  
that the rule of thumb in collecting is not to take more than the  
production of one plant in twenty, though I know, from working with  
seed collection for the Nature Conservancy and Washington State DNR  
that, for habitat restoration, we often violate that rule and take a  
bit more. That is not for a commercial venture, however.
