Huckleberry season is approaching, and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest is issuing a reminder that a permit is required to remove any berries from the Forest. A no-cost free-use permit for personal consumption is available to remove up to one gallon of berries per day and a total of three gallons per year, and is available through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest website. Commercial charge berry permits will be available for purchase beginning August 9 at Ranger District offices and the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument Headquarters through walk-up service windows. Permits cost $60 for 14 consecutive days, or $105 for the season.
