Permits
Permits are required for gathering forest products, cutting a Christmas tree, or participating in activities that require additional cultural and resource protection like caving. Special-use permits are required for easements, utilities and activities like commercial ventures, filming, recreation events, and large gatherings.
Forest Product
Special forest products include items such as firewood, mushroom, beargrass leaves, fern greens, pinecones, evergreen boughs and huckleberries.
Commercial
Special events or commercial use of public lands require a permit. This includes commercial activities such as filming or guiding, and non-commercial uses such as organized events or gatherings, and recreation residences.
Research, Collection, and Other Permits
We consider research one of the many allowed uses of public land. Some research and collection will require a permit.
