Re: DFWAPC January meeting, 2009 Not sure exactly the locations Niko was talking about going to, but in geology we trespass about 10 ft into people's property, never over fences, and that's about it. I sometimes wear a hard hat, always wear my belt when collecting rocks, so my lesson is as long as you attempt to look official and aren't blatantly trespassing, people don't care.
Sometimes when I am purposefully trespassing I wear construction garb and I take notes often, people always assume I'm with a state agency, obviously that is when I am alone. I have been stopped by a game warden and some private people, but not much else, and never had anything come of it. They usually ask in a puzzled way, "so you're collecting rocks?" and leave me alone. Sometimes when I'm climbing people honk or yell to try and get me to fall, that's about it. Luckily I've never been hit with a bottle or anything, but it can happen if you are close to highways.
I'm sure it will be the same for aquatic plants. Anyway I'm game if it falls on a good weekend. |
