Can mushrooms, fruits, flowers and herbs simply be harvested in the forest and taken with you? The answer is: yes. According to the Saxon Forest Act, removal for personal use is expressly permitted as long as it is done carefully and not for commercial purposes. »This also applies to mushrooms, as has been practiced for a long time, and also to herbs and mosses. So if you would like to collect your mushrooms this autumn as usual just for a meal – not for sale – you are welcome to do so,” says Detlef Thiel, head of the Dresden Office for Urban Greenery and Waste Management.
However, he also points out that the Nature Conservation Act must be taken into account. Only those forest fruits, flowers and herbs that are not subject to special protection and are not part of a protected biotope may be removed.
Young trees and bushes are exempt from collecting permission. Anyone who removes, fells, digs up or damages forest trees and bushes or parts of them without authorization is committing an administrative offense or theft. Wood for your home fireplace can be purchased from the forester at any time.
