The last time I led a foraging trip with ramsons (ramsl\u00f8k), Allium ursinum<\/em>, as the main focus was in 2014 on the island Hvaler in south eastern Norway near the Swedish border. This was at the time the ramsons-pesto trend was really taking off and major gourmet restaurants were paying good money for the leaves. I was shocked to see that a large area had been indiscriminately cut to the ground and I suspected commercial harvest. Since that time similar reports have come in, even from nature reserves which is illegal and there have been declines in the wild stands of this plant. In my area I heard of a chef in Trondheim bragging of big hauls of ramsons in locations at the very north of the plant’s range and at location the plants had almost disappeared. Similarly, a concerned friend showed me pictures of commercial harvesting in a nature reserve in the neighbouring county of M\u00f8re og Romsdal.
Well known botany professor Klaus H\u00f8iland was also alarmed by developments and published a list of ten common sense rules (ramsl\u00f8kvettreglene) when harvesting this plant from the wild. This was published in KVANN’s (Norwegian Seed Savers) newsletter and we asked people rather to grow in their gardens and to share seed and plants to fellow members. A similar development happened in North America with a similar looking Allium species ramps, Allium tricoccum, <\/em>where local populations have been overharvested and cultivation has started to compensate on Native American lands (unlike ramsons, bulbs are collected in North America).
Ramsl\u00f8kvettreglene<\/em> are repeated below (in Norwegian). I would now include Nordm\u00f8re and areas close to Bergen and Stavanger as areas where only small amounts should be harvested.

Jakta p\u00e5 ramsl\u00f8ken er i gang! \"🌿\"<\/span>\"🌱\"<\/span> Men viss du plukkar i eit verneomr\u00e5de kan det vera forbode.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Den kjente professor og sopp- og nyttevekstspesialist Klaus H\u00f8iland har laget disse “ramsl\u00f8kvettreglene”:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>1) Plukk ramsl\u00f8k greit p\u00e5 Vestlandet, S\u00f8rvestlandet og S\u00f8rlandet. Der er det rikelig av den.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>2) Plukker du p\u00e5 \u00d8stlandet, Nordvestlandet og i Tr\u00f8ndelag og nordover, la sm\u00e5 bestander st\u00e5 i fred, og v\u00e6r forsiktig – ramsl\u00f8k er ikke vanlig i \u00f8st, nordvest og nordover.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>3) Se etter at det ikke er fredet. St\u00e5r det fredningsskilt er det forbudt \u00e5 plukke ramsl\u00f8k, som alle andre planter og tr\u00e6r i fredningsomr\u00e5det. Sjekk uansett om det er fredet, hvor enn du har tenkt \u00e5 plukke.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>4) Respekter innmark, og spesielt mark rundt hus. Noen kan ha plantet ramsl\u00f8k der, den kan du ikke plukke. Sp\u00f8r alltid grunneier om lov om du vil plukke n\u00e6r hus.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>5) La det alltid st\u00e5 noen planter igjen, sj\u00f8l om du plukker i ei rik li med ramsl\u00f8k p\u00e5 Vestlandet.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>6) Ikke dra opp plantene med l\u00f8k og rot. Det er bladene som smaker.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>7) Er det andre som allerede plukker der, finn et annet sted. Da begrenses ogs\u00e5 beskatningen p\u00e5 omr\u00e5det.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>8) Ikke plukk mer enn du trenger.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>9) Tr\u00e5 forsiktig, ramsl\u00f8k vokser ofte i slitesvak skogbunn.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"🌱\"<\/span>10) L\u00e6r forskjellen p\u00e5 ramsl\u00f8k og liljekonvall<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
