Permission and safety

Ask first

Get the owner's or land manager's permission before you enter a property or touch a vine. If the answer is no, respect it.

• Private land

  Ask the owner directly.

• Parks and trails

  Contact the agency that runs the land.

  Why?

  Many run volunteer programs, and many forbid cutting plants without one.

• Roadsides and utility lines

  Contact the road agency or the utility.

  Why?

  Never work near power lines or traffic.

Report from where you are allowed to be

Report a tree you can see from a public place, or from land you have permission to be on.

Your own risk

Vinely does not verify reports, property ownership or whether a site is safe. Reports come from the public and can be wrong. You act at your own risk, and you are responsible for what you do.
