Golden rule: Use of native plants should never endanger their wild populations 2. Comply with all applicable DLNR permitting requirements for any collection of native plants from the wild. Remember that many native plant species are considered threatened or endangered and may be subject to special legal protections. 3. Collect native plants only if you are a trained individual. Native ground cover vegetation can be damaged very easily. Avoid unnecessary damage to collection sites by staying on or near established trails. 4. When collecting common species with a permit, collect less than 5 percent of total seeds from each plant. 5. When collecting, propagating and planting native plants, replicate nature’s genetic diversity. Ideally, collect from 8-10 plants per population and a total of 3-5 populations. Keep good records of the location and description of parent plants. Note provenance of plants throughout propagation to installation. 6. Use native plants from your island even if the species distribution is statewide. 7. Avoid moving native plants interisland. 8. Do not import native plants from outside of Hawai‘i. 9. Purchase native plants from an established plant nursery. 10. Use native plants in your landscaping only and do not outplant them in natural areas.
