    Can we cut branches off of trees?

    We go walking in the woods a lot with our children, I've tried googling but haven't been able to find an answer. Is there any rules about whether you can cut branches off of trees? If there is, where is the best place to buy wood for making spoons? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
