Personal use huckleberry permits are now available for the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.  A 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.  Berries obtained with a free-use permit cannot be sold.  The permits are available only online through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest website.  Print the permit or save it to your mobile device, along with conditions for use, and a map of the locations open to free-use berry collection.  Some areas of the Pinchot are closed to huckleberry collection, including the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, all legislated wildernesses, and the “Handshake Agreement” area of the Sawtooth Berry Fields, which is reserved for Yakama Nation members.  Commercial use permits will be available at the Trout Lake Ranger District office beginning on August 12.
