See the national Forest Service website for more examples of special use permit activities. Not sure if you need a Special Use Permit? Please contact us. Our policy is to manage special uses on National Forest lands in a manner that:
Before a special use proposal is approved, the agency must determine that the proposed use complies with the Forest's land and resource management plan; that National Environmental Policy Act requirements are met; there is a demonstrated need for the activity on National Forest System lands; and the use is appropriate on National Forest System lands. None of the existing special use authorities provide for permanent use of National Forest System lands. NOTE: |
