However, the overall designation means that they are afforded the same protections and are covered by the same laws. The interesting thing about SSSIs and SACs is that they could be designated for any number of reasons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. Most designations have been in place for many years, but more are being selected and nominated for protected status. As foragers we are mostly concerned with the first two of these.

Aside from the well-known factor of protected species, we talk about the less well know protected areas of land, which can even prohibit the landowner from cutting back branches or digging a hole on their own patch without the correct permissions.Īreas of land or water can be designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) or Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or even as Special Protection Areas (SPAs). "Various laws" because there is no one law to rule us all when it comes to foraging, but several relvant laws of which to be aware.
This isn’t in a general “don’t do naughty things or the police will throw you in jail”, but a well researched overview of the various laws which apply when you are out collecting plants and funghi. Something that we always talk about on our foraging courses is the law.
