Question

Is it illegal to pick cat tails??

Answer 1

First off it depends on where you're picking them from. Flora and fauna is typically protected in preserves and state or federal parkland.

But that aside, what are you using them for?  If you're eating the cattail, make sure the water source is pure.  If it's ornamental, no problem there, but in any case this time of year watch for nests; some birds build them right into the cattails.

Answer 2

The sea oats along the beach borders are illegal to pick along the Atlantic coastlines,is all I am familiar with.This helps with land erosian I think..,and protection from high waters.

I'm sure you mean the plant. As far as I know, it's like picking a flower. As long as its not on someone's property, you should be fine.
