Special Uses Research
There are many diverse research projects on the National Forests In Florida. Research includes specimen collection permits, observatories, laboratories, educational research study, educational talks and lectures and similar uses not intended to result in further development.
Our goal is to provide a high level of customer service for research activities on the National Forests In Florida. Please understand however, that depending on the complexity of the proposal, and any environmental compliance that may be required, it may take up to 90 days to process a research permit.
- It is your responsibility to provide the Agency with all the information needed to review, evaluate, and make a decision on a submitted proposal and an application.
- All proposals are subject to initial screening. If a proposal passes initial screening it is formally accepted as an application and will enter a second screening for environmental analysis (cost recovery fees are applicable).
- Lastly, the environmental analysis process will determine if the proposed use will be authorized with a Special Use Permit.
Land use Fee and Cost Recovery fee may incur and will be determined at the time of application approval and or permit processing
Documents to be filled and sent to the Special Use Permit Administrator:
