I lived in the deceptively highly-populated Lancaster County PA -
around here all land is privately owned or state game lands,
municipal parks and such. When I was young, you could just go out
and cut down willow shoots, etc along a river bank and no one would
care. The state prohibits one from removing or disturbing plants or
anything in the game lands (except deer of course). Private land
owners are highly protective of their domain. Where do you folks go
to identify and cut down (legally) willow shoots for your boats. How
do you identify willow shoots from other similar plants? Do you run
around with a Guide to Plants? What times of year are best to find
and cut them down?
