§422d — Title 16 Conservation | U.S. Code

Summary

It is illegal, without written permission from the Secretary of the Interior, to damage or remove monuments, columns, statues, memorials, or works of art placed on the park by lawful authority. It is also illegal to tear down fences, railings, or other protective or decorative features, to cut, wound, or remove trees, brush, shrubs, timber, or battle relics, or to hunt inside the park. Anyone found guilty in front of the local justice of the peace in Pender County, North Carolina must pay a fine for each offense. The justice will set the fine between $5 and $50 based on how serious the act was. Half of the fine goes to the park and half to the person who reported the offense. The fine is collected the same way similar fines were on June 2, 1926.
