the issue of overharvesting of wild ginseng. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We in Canada have had an over reaction in Ontario. Many and in my humble
opinion most of the wild ginseng in Ontario and much of Quebec has been planted
by traditional pickers - not actual wild ginseng. There is also growers that
plant ginseng in the wild and then harvest their own root that they have planted
up to 10 years later. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The issue is can they prove it is theirs not true wild ginseng. In Quebec
wild ginseng growers have documented their plantings and informed the
authorities so they can prove ownership. Ontario was not so organized and thus
when the Ontario ministry of natural resourses decided to without consultation
make harvesting etc of ginseng illegal - both field planted ginseng and forest
planted ginseng became illegal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Because Ontario field ginseng growers have an organization - they were able
to get an exempt. Wild planted ginseng growers were not so lucky. </p>
<p>We have and are working with both growers and governments to get practices in
place to ensure that if they plant ginseng in the wild they can still harvest
their own roots. </p>
<p>We have worked with CITES in Canada on ensuring that decisons about
endangered plants are based in fact. Not all wildcrafters rape and pilage.
Many are generational pickers that care for the the plants so their
grandchildren still have the resource. Unfortunately they often get clumped in
with those who do not take care. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Often the overharvest of plant are spurged by some overstated
overenthusiastic study that takes the highest price of the plant and multiply
that with the largest volumes to make it look like a fortune would be made by
simply wandering into the wild and picking plants for free. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is important to protect the plants and ensure they are not endangered but
we need to do so with thought ...... the facts are important and we must ensure
that this is the basis we work from - on all sides. </p>

invasive people so to speak, crossing properties without any thought to privacy

county Ohio... she was going to build a house and took a walk around, the
company claims it was all a big mistake but beware, I see fracking trucks
withdrawing water illegally from hidden areas as well as the local MWCD lakes.

<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for all you have just put out there. Agreed.
<div>I really believe WNC residential and commercial development and periodic
forest service/DOT maintenance probably do more damage to annihilate our herbal
medicines in the area, more than poachers ever will.</div>
<div>I also think that we will still have ginseng in 10-20 years because the
old-timers and their generations who harvest know how to proliferate the species
as they harvest, scattering seeds and spreading roots.</div>
<div>It will be "wild cultivated" ginseng but it will still be considered wild.
I believe Robert Eidus is trying to bring attention to the industry and he has a
right to his opinion. I hope he's wrong and we can sustain our wild ginseng but
if more people are moving into western NC and the developments sprawl outwards,
we may not have much of a forest to grow it!</div>
