Everyone knows that they should ask the land owner's permission before entering private property. The same applies to public lands when cutting wood, of course.
I emailed the Tulsa River Parks Authority to request permission to cut dead branches hanging from trees. Much of this is due to severe ice storms (freezing rain) in 2007 and 2009. Whereas the wood on the ground is rotted, much of the hanging deadwood is still hard.
They mulled it over for a few days, and then the parks superintendent emailed me the ok. He also sent a memo to all his parks staff. All I had to do is politely ask and explain what I intended to do.
I will carry that approval with me whenever I cut wood on our parks here. I share this with the thought that others may also avoid potential conflict.
