Special Use Permits are required prior to short-term events or activities that take place in an area managed by the National Park Service and:

• Provide a benefit to an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large
• Are not in conflict with law or policy
• Will not result in derogation of the values and purposes for which the preserve was established
• Do not present a threat to public safety or property and do not unduly interfere with normal preserve operations, resource protection, or visitor use
• Are neither initiated, sponsored, nor conducted by the National Park Service

Examples of events or activities requiring a Special Use Permit include but are not limited to the following: special assemblies, athletic events or races, temporary access requests, first amendment activities, groups with 12 or more participants, etc.

If you are uncertain whether a Special Use Permit is necessary for your proposed activity, please contact the preserve to discuss.
