Special Use Permits
Special Uses– The Forest Service's special-uses program authorizes uses on NFS land that provide a benefit to the general public and protect public and natural resources values. Currently there are over 74,000 authorizations on National Forest System lands for over 180 types of uses. On the Tahoe National Forest, there are approximately 650 special-use authorizations. Each year, the Forest Service receives thousands of individual and business applications for authorization such activities as water transmission, agriculture, outfitting and guiding, recreation special events, telecommunication, research, photography and video productions, and granting road and utility rights-of-ways. The Forest Service carefully reviews each application. Normally, the National Forest is not made available if the overall needs of the individual or business can be met on nonfederal lands. To determine if a special use permit is needed and how to apply for one, contact the Forest Headquarters or closest Ranger Station. Additional special uses information
