HARVESTING MORELS ON TŁĮCHǪ LANDS?
Here's what you need to know:
Respecting The Land
When harvesting morels on Tłı̨chǫ lands, please remember that you are a guest on the land and respect the land, animals, plants, ongoing land use, and personal sites.
Proper Harvesting
Take only what you need:
- Avoid over-harvesting
Safely harvest:
- Cut only mature mushrooms
- Use proper tools to harvest at the stem, instead of pulling it out from the ground.
Land Safety
- Pack and remove all waste and garbage for proper disposal.
- Wear high-visibility clothing and gear, and be ready for weather changes.
- Do not construct permanent structures.
- Take measures to prevent forest fires, including fully extinguishing campfires.
- Stay updated on fire conditions and report wildfires.
- Inform someone of your plans, particularly if harvesting alone, and check-in.
Leave No Trace
- Responsibly throw away all garbage and waste in designated areas. Ensure that camped areas are free of litter, food, and spills.
- Minimize the impact of campfires, take the necessary precautions, and extinguish fires fully before leaving. Stay informed and report any forest fires.
- Leave what you find. Maintain distance from cabins and other sites. Leave objects as you find them. Do not build new structures.
- Respect wildlife by leaving animals undisturbed and minimizing your impact on their habitat. Do not feed or approach any wildlife. Store all food securely to avoid direct interactions with animals.
