Went birdwatching at my favorite patch today, a really isolated and quiet corner of a state park on the Pacific Flyway. Surprised to see some other people arrive shortly after me (I've been going here for years and can count on one hand the times I've seen other people). Watch them wander off path, then 5 minutes see them cutting down a young pine tree and dragging it to their car. Thanks you utter bastards, I love seeing wanton habitat destruction when I'm trying to get to one of the few things that capitalism hasn't completely ruined.
I believe you can do that in National Forests here in Cali, but State Parks are very particular about protecting flora and fauna. For example, I know of one State Park and one State Forest in Northern California that allow for mushroom foraging.

Are you sure that they didn't have a permit? I chopped down a Christmas tree last week after getting a permit for like $10
