The Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest manages many resources with the objective of caring for the land and serving people. Management protects natural resource values, public health and safety, and is consistent with the Forest land and resource management goals outlined in the Forest Plan. In order to meet these objectives, permits may be required for the occupancy and use of Forest Service land or resources.
The first step in applying for a permit is to contact the local Ranger District Office on which you need a permit. They will help determine if your request can be permitted and help you through the process. Our national website provides additional information about the special use program, regulations and laws, and the application process.
