[QUOTE="Gregyem, post: 657334, member: 23249"] There does seem to be some catch 22 in all of this. I would think that vacant crown land is the only crown land that temporary permits can be issued for. Otherwise it would be up to the manager of the land that has been leased out by the Crown. From a map or roadside, determining if a parcel is "vacant" is not really possible so I would think that an inquiry to crown lands as to the status of the land would be pretty simple- if it is vacant with no leases or indigenous interests then a temporary permit should be forthcoming with no hinderance, if there are leases or other management or interests then the crown says no we cant provide a permit, you will have to take this up with the managing body or party with interest in the parcel. I noticed that [USER=4485]@mbasko[/USER] had a problem with Crown Lands a couple of years ago which seemed to be as a result of staff not correctly interpreting policy but I believe that was resolved. Perhaps there is no malice but just a bit of incompetence in regard to dealing with requests to fossick? I am getting close to just jumping off bridges with a pair of waders and walking the creekbeds but I was hoping to do some ridgeline swinging which doesnt often come with road crossings and creekbeds ha ha.
