Passes & Permits

ATV rider getting safety instructionStewardship of your natural and recreational resources in the National Forests in Florida means that many of those resources must be carefully managed.

Whether it's a limit of how many Christmas trees can be removed each season, a need for an easement through National Forest land, or what a reasonable capacity of users is on a specific trail, care is taken to manage the forest resources through the use of passes and permits for certain uses.
