Edible Berries
On the Umpqua National Forest, no permit is needed to harvest berries. Except for huckleberries, that can be consumed incidentally on forest. Huckleberries are culturally significant to the local Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. Since 2006, Umpqua National Forest has worked with the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians to classify 9,341 acres as a Special Interest Area (SIA). This SIA allows the Forest Service to propose projects in the future that focus on maintaining and enhancing huckleberry habitat for the traditional, historic, and present-day use of the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians.
If you have a permit for huckleberries, it is your responsibility to know where you are allowed to harvest berries on the landscape.
