[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Key:harvesting

[bkil]

Sure, it's usually clear with private property of natural persons, but
what about common land? Like trees besides roads and railway lines
both within city limits and out of town in the wilderness? What about
natural reserves? What about areas that are legally classified as a
managed forestry, where the owner grows trees for fuel and
construction but otherwise doesn't care about the undergrowth or any
possibly edible wild fruit trees within?

For example, over here, you are allowed by law to stay, hike or even
sleep in a tent for up to 24 hours within any managed private forestry
without permission of the land owner. You are allowed to forage up to
2kg/day of berries, wild fruit, herbs and mushrooms for personal use
in our national forests too.

It's even to the extent that you may cut the branch off where it comes over the fence, but the branch, & any fruit on it, must be returned to the owner.

Once again, you can pick up wood that has fallen on the road & verges, but you cannot jump, or even lean over, a fence to collect some, or walk onto un unfenced property to do so.
