LINCOLN NATIONAL FOREST GUIDELINES
Welcome and thank you for choosing the Lincoln National Forest for your photo or filming project. You will find that the Lincoln provides tremendous opportunities for scenic, recreational, wildlife, and historic picture taking or filming for both amateurs and professionals alike. Please note that in some cases a special use permit is required before you break out the lenses. These cases are:

	1) When unusual photographic activities may adversely impact National Forest System lands or disrupt Forest Service activities.
	2) If the photographer taking pictures of Forest users intends to sell the photographs to the users.
	3) If the photography features a commercial product for sale when National Forest Systems are used for background.
	4) For location for motion picture and television media on National Forest system lands. This involves film crews, actors, and sets. This designation also includes anticipated news-related uses such as: coverage of sporting events, entertainment specials, or documentaries.

If you are a professional or amateur photographer and your activities do not meet the above criteria, then you are permitted to take still photographs on National Systems lands without a permit. If you do need a permit, your first step is to fill out a special use permit application. You may obtain one from the Lincoln National Forest at the address and phone number below, or you can download one from www.fs.fed.us/recreation/permits/forms.htm This website also has the Forest Service Manual regarding special use permit policy for your information as well. Please also visit www.fs.fed.us/r3/lincoln for additional information on the Lincoln National Forest.
