Question: What is the Biological Resources Discipline (BRD) policy about coming onto private property to conduct your studies?

Answer:

When conducting surveys on private property, BRD researchers comply with State and Tribal laws, including trespassing and privacy laws. BRD researchers are required to obtain written permission from the landowner when conducting new surveys, not to trespass, and, at the landowner's request, to make the data available at no cost.
