Six Rivers National Forest

California, Del Norte Humboldt Trinity Siskiyou·Foraging

Personal-use foraging is allowed in Six Rivers National Forest at no charge for incidental amounts — but unlike Oregon forests just across the state line, there is no published gallon-per-day limit. Anything beyond incidental use needs a free-use permit capped at $20 in value per person per year.

  • Incidental personal-use amounts of mushrooms, berries, and most special forest products are free and require no permit
  • Collection beyond incidental amounts requires a free-use permit, capped at $20 in product value per person per calendar year — there is no published pounds- or gallon-per-day figure like neighboring Oregon forests use
