Is picking wildflowers legal or appropriate in a state park?
Posted on Oct 15, 2021Hawaii State Parks allows picking of flowers, as well as gathering of other natural renewable resources, so long as they are not being gathered to sell. One might be surprised at how frequently most plants here flower, so in most cases there will always be a profusion of blossoms to enjoy and photograph.
The specific rule is as follows:
HAR 13-146-32. Public Property.
c) A person may gather or collect for personal use, reasonable quantities of natural products of a renewable nature, including, but not limited to, seashells, fruits, berries, flowers, seeds, pine cones, seaweeds, driftwood, and marine objects of natural origin; provided that the board or its authorized representative may establish seasons for picking of plums on Kauai. No person shall gather or collect these products for the purpose of sale. The quantities of these products may also be restricted by the board or its authorized representative.
