There is a fine line that you dont cross, but that is up to the individual, an old sand pit is also fair game as well.
It is not as though i go into peoples gardens and dig up their trees, Just my opinion on this. Cheers.

Yea, around here we have hundreds of miles of dense forest and an almost equal amount of barren desert, its all owned by our Bureau of Land Management, deemed for public use. I don't see a couple of trees here and there as a problem, heck if I broke down out in the forest land I could very likely die, in northern Idaho you can go for miles and not ever get near a city. We have dozens of ghost towns and such.

Well we dont have a Bureau of Land Management, most of the land belongs to Laird's and a lot of them dont even stay here, even the Queen owns a huge estate up here, the only time she appears is for the shooting season or to fish for salmon.
Once you are in the hills there are dozens of pines growing at the side of the road that have self seeded, once they get to large or have become a danger along comes the local road department and they simply rip em out and they are thrown away. I would not know where to start to ask permission, each area has its own people to take care of a certain amount of roads, it would be a nightmare to ask about one little tree. Cheers.

yeah even then they wont give permission on the grounds of public liability.

i just recently contacted the local ranger station in my area, and they not only gave me permission to pull certain trees, but also sent me a map with highlighted areas where they is no planned activity (such as logging, controlled burns, etc.). i will probably go the safe route and prep the tree for a few years. pluse like most folks i'm running out of room so might as well prune it on my way to a backpacking adventure and let i live where it likes to.

Thats an interesting idea. I will have to get in contact with the BLM in my area and see if they will do something similar for me.
