[NHCOLL-L:5131] Re: Nation Parks collecting

[Carol Spencer]

Yes, you need to have an NPS permit to collect on National Parks, National
Monuments, and National Preserves, like the Mojave National Preserve.

Here is the NPS research website,
https://science.nature.nps.gov/research/ac/ResearchIndex

Each park or group of parks has a Research Coordinate, and you should
contact them for info on where the park begins or ends. This info is also
available on that website.  I have found that the Park people in the
Southwest are very helpful.

Cheers,
Carol
