Do your research. In California..all land is probably owned by somebody. If no one else the state. It could look that way because something has made its home there. If so, you could be prosecuted if you cut it down. We own part of a creek. If you were near the creek you would have no idea a house owned it either.

In NY State public woodlands come in several different ways. You can't cut anything in a state park. If there's a legal firepit area you must collect deadfall but first check to see if fires are permitted that day. During droughts all fires are prohibited. If it's a preserve, then you may be able to cut some wood depending if they feel it is in need of clearing. Now, a multiuse property can be cut from at certain times of year. But you have to consult the local forest ranger first. By the way, the part of the creek I own is a good 20 acres away from my house. And I still will call the cops if I find you trespassing and damaging it.

Yeah I wouldn't just go stomping through willy nilly, Ip robably wouldn't even go get the wood, unless I was with a known organization who did it for say help the creek week. quote: ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth quote: So I don't think they're private property, and anyway how the hell does a creek that goes through 3 or 4 counties and is on the side of the road be private property? lots of folks own property, that includes creekbeds, along the side of the road. this slave used to live in one of those areas, and you'd be wise to do your research with the county that you live in regarding what is or is not private property as well as what rules are in place for harvesting fallen timber from public lands. sometimes, creekbeds are protected, because of the habitat for wildlife(or potential habitat, if the creekbed is dry at certain times of the year) and folks aren't allowed to dam it, change the direction of it, or use anything but hand tools to clear brush or timber, even if it flows through their private property. be careful. lots of rural folks have loaded guns to protect themselves from people who would steal off their land. you might not be able to see their cabin from where you are looking, but they can certainly see you through their rifle scope.
