§ 1908 Endangered Native Plant Protection

This law says you can't bring, pick, keep, or sell any native plant or its parts that the state says is endangered or rare, unless it's already growing on the land you own or another special rule applies.

Key Takeaways

  • •You cannot import, take, possess, or sell endangered or rare native plants.
  • •The state commission decides which plants are endangered or rare.
  • •You may keep a plant only if it’s already growing on the land you own, unless another rule in the chapter says otherwise.

Example

A garden store in the state tries to sell a rare native wildflower that was collected from another state and brought in for resale.

Because the plant is listed as an endangered native plant, the store is not allowed to import, keep, or sell it, so they would be breaking the law.
