Forest ranger Theo, as he is known on social media, found the woman in December. The plastic bag she was carrying was full of graceful reindeer moss, a lichen found in the dunes.
That was way too much, says the ranger. It is in any case forbidden to take reindeer moss from the nature reserve. The Public Prosecution Service has now imposed a fine of 300 on the woman.
A month earlier, the same forester also found a chef with a bag full of porcini mushrooms. It involved almost two kilos of mushrooms, which the cook had picked himself. He said he wanted to use them in his dishes.
