Only nuts, berries, and mushrooms can be collected on the refuge. There is no plant collection allowed. Foraging for nuts, berries, and mushrooms is allowed in areas and time frames that are open to trespassing. Refer to the refuge map that indicates year-round closed areas. The map also shows the year round open area south of Highway 26 which transects the refuge west to east. The area north of Highway 26 is only open September 1 - March 1. Collection amounts are limited to personal use only, large quantities are not permitted. Please take the time to learn ethical collection to assure foraging opportunities continue for generations to come.
White Earth Nation enrolled tribal members with a harvest permit may have additional opportunities. Consult the White Earth Nation Natural Resources Division for further details.
