Why must I have a permit? In terms of section 63 of the Ordinance no person shall, without a permit, pick any endangered or protected flora from property that he or she is not the owner of, without a permit. In addition, no person may pick any flora on a public road or on the land on either side of such road within a distance of ninety metres from the centre of such road, without a permit. In addition to a permit, to pick any flora from property that one is not the owner of, that property owner must grant his permission in writing to the permit holder allowing him to pick the species of flora mentioned on the permit. Scientists or researchers wishing to collect flora specimens must also apply for such a permit. |
