Gathering wild plants in the wild is authorised in some cases, but it should be done in a sensible way:
- In small quantities: this encourages regrowth, so that there will be enough left for the animals and other hikers.
- Do not pick in the same place: diversify the picking sites
- Cut the plants instead of uprooting them
And why not just admire the mountain flowers? It's surely going to be a memorable experience! Picking is often prohibited in sensitive natural areas (nature reserves or parks). Check the regulations at the entrance to the site.
