Monongahela National Forest is accepting appointments for the purchase of ginseng permits for the 2021 harvest season. In addition to following all state laws, a Forest Service permit is required to dig ginseng on National Forest System lands.

Permit appointments are available Wednesday, Aug. 25, through Friday, Sept. 3, at the following offices:

  • Marlinton-White Sulphur Ranger District (Marlinton) – 304-799-4334
  • Marlinton-White Sulphur Springs District (White Sulphur Springs) – 304-536-2144
  • Monongahela National Forest ginseng permits cost $20 each.

 A separate permit is required for each district on the Forest. This year, you can buy permits for multiple districts at each office. Each permit allows you to collect up to 95 plants from one ranger district during the Sept. 1 through Nov. 30 West Virginia ginseng season.

Ginseng plants must have three or more prongs and have produced fruit this year to be legal for harvest. When harvesting, plant the fruit on-site and then keep the rest of the plant intact. Harvest no more than 24 plants per day and have no more than 24 plants in your possession while on National Forest land. You may purchase more than one permit.

For more information about state laws concerning ginseng harvest, visit West Virginia Division of Forestry at https://wvforestry.com/laws-regulations/ginseng/.
