Is it forbidden to pick pine cones? There are fines for those who don't follow the rules

The harvest of stone pine cones (Pinus pinea L.) is generally prohibited from 1 April to 30 November, but the government adjusted the start date for this year to 1 November. Harvesting is permitted from 1 December to 31 March unless otherwise specified, and for personal consumption, there is a limit of 10 kilograms that does not require registration with the ICNF. Fines for harvesting outside the permitted period range from 350 to 3,500 euros, with higher penalties for businesses.
