is prohibited in any state forest without the written authorization of the
district forester or under the district forester's supervision.
(2) The collection of plants, rocks,
minerals, animal life, botanical specimens or other natural objects in state
forests is prohibited; provided however, persons officially representing a
reputable scientific or educational institution(s), federal or state agencies
may be permitted for such collecting by the district forester. Other state
and/or federal permits and approvals may also be required as provided by law,
rule or regulation.
(3) The
hunting, fishing, killing, taking or attempted taking of any species of
wildlife in state forests is allowed only as provided by law, rule, or
proclamation by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission.
(4) The district forester can restrict
hunting, fishing, and the killing, taking or attempted taking of any species of
wildlife in a state forest if the district forester determines that conditions
in an area normally open to the public are such that they endanger resources or
the public. The district forester's authority includes the right to limit the
times and locations available for hunting and fishing. If the state forest is a
designated or partially designated Wildlife Management Area, the district
forester shall consult with the appropriate Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency
Region Manager prior to restricting hunting, fishing, killing, taking and/or
attempted taking of any species of wildlife.
