Harvest prohibited
US National Wildlife Refuges

50 CFR 27.51(a) prohibits disturbing, destroying or collecting any plant or animal on a refuge except by special permit, unless otherwise permitted under the subchapter. Some refuges have their own public-use rules; confirm with the refuge office before picking.
