Glad You Asked—Where can I collect landscaping rock on public land?
Decorative stone public collecting localities
Landscaping rock can be collected from “community pits” on U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands. Common-use areas/community pits are for noncommercial or small-scale collection and require a permit.
The rules and stipulations for collecting vary from region to region and pit to pit. For details on obtaining a permit, call the appropriate permitting office listed with each collecting location.
