Permits for events and activities
Thinking of hosting a sport or educational event, group activity or scientific research on Forestry England land? You may need a permit from us.
We need to balance the needs and safety of all our visitors, wildlife conservation and sustainable timber production when issuing permits. We usually need at least eight weeks to consider your application.
