While I agree with that, making things illegal (or the converse!) has a long-term effect by percolation through the people that do know. Not always the desired effect, of course .... Personally, I think that education of people to appreciate why they might be doing harm taking plants would be a better long term bet than the creation of yet more rules and regulations. Nick, of course, might think educating people to take plants more appropriate - I would agree that if the plants in question are 'doomed' in their existing location, there is little to be lost, and perhaps something to be gained, by relocating them to a more secure location where they might thrive. Yes. I would actually put it that I believe in educating people when and how to take plants, and most definitely when and how not to! For example, taking a few things like ramsons, bluebells, tipped-in blackberries or most tree seedlings is fine, but taking even one orchid isn't. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
