PABLO- Berry and mushroom harvesting is closed to non-tribal members on the Flathead Indian Reservation tribal-owned lands.

The closure will protect native plant resources on the Reservation from damage caused by over-harvest.

"This type of closure is necessary to ensure these resources are managed for present and future Tribal members," stated Division of Fish, Wildlife, Recreation and Conservation manager Tom
McDonald.

A CSKT tribal member may be accompanied by non-member children or a spouse, as long as they have required recreation permits, according to a news release.
