New process for IPNF events

December 18, 2013 |
The Idaho Panhandle National Forests are
implementing a new open season application
process for special use recreation events. A
special use authorization is required before
conducting any type of commercial recreation use
of National Forest System lands.
This open season will streamline recreation
special use permitting and allow time for review
and processing prior to an event. The open
period for applications is determined by the
proposed event date. Non-commercial group use,
filming and outfitter/guide permits are not
subject to open season periods.
Effective immediately, the following application
periods apply:
* January 1 through January 31 for summer season events (those
occurring between June 1 - November 30)
* August 1 through August 31 for winter season events (those
occurring between December 1 - May 31)
The Idaho Panhandle National Forests provide
public value and unique opportunities for many
outdoor recreation events. Adopting an open
season application process allows the forest to
meet customer needs in a more efficient manner
while responding to an increasing number of
requests for special use permit authorizations
within budget constraints.
For additional information about the application
process for recreation events, please contact
the special use permit administrator at the
district office nearest you. More information
