Permits for Events, Hunting, Camping, and Other Uses of Conserved Lands
Requiring permits for certain activities on conservation lands (such as events, hunting, and camping) helps land managers ensure that the activities do not negatively impact the land or others’ enjoyment of it. The permit-application process can also serve to inform users of the rules for using the land. PALTA has added a new Permits section to the ConservationTools.org library providing nearly three-dozen sample applications and permits used by land trusts and governments. (PALTA has also posted a related guide, Permits for Events, Hunting, Camping, and Other Uses of Conserved Lands.)
