Passes & PermitsThe Forest Service offers many activities such as hiking, biking, skiing,
camping, birding, using cabins, driving for pleasure, harvesting mushrooms, and
gathering firewood. Many of the facilities and services associated with these
opportunities are free. However, more and more people recreate on national
forests and grasslands every year. Meeting the increasing needs of these
visitors, delivering quality recreation, heritage and wilderness opportunities,
and protecting natural resources has become challenging. Fees or permits to help

PermitsRecreation permits may be required when extra measures are needed to protect natural or cultural resources. Recreation permits can include:
* These activities have historically required a "Special Use Permit", which sometimes includes a fee and sometimes are free. The Recreation Enhancement Act allows funds from these fees to now remain where collected. A Special Use Permit grants rights or privileges of occupancy and use to the holder. Examples include reserving a public site for a wedding party, or holding a bicycle race on public lands. These permits contain specific terms and conditions that the holder must follow. Before Special Use Permits are issued, the Forest Service must determine that the proposed use complies with all management plans and laws, that there is a demonstrated need for the activity, and that the use is appropriate on national forest system lands. Special Use Permits are a temporary authority. Evanston RD - Firewood and Tipi Pole Permits |
