PART
II - PERMIT
Purpose:
Noncommercial group use permits do not grant or deny
freedom of assembly or freedom of speech. The rights to freedom of
assembly and freedom of speech are guaranteed by the United States
Constitution. These rights are fully respected by the Forest
Service. When noncommercial group use permits are issued, they
regulate time, place, and manner with respect to the exercise of
these rights by groups of 75 or more people on National Forest
System lands. Noncommercial group use permits authorize the holder
to use and occupy the National Forest System lands covered by the
permit, subject to rights retained by the United States, including
continuing rights of access, a continuing right of physical entry
for inspection, monitoring, or for any other purposes consistent
with any right or obligation of the United States, and the right
to require common use of the land or to authorize use by others in
any way that is not inconsistent with the privileges granted by
the permit. The use and occupancy authorized by a noncommercial
group use permit would not be allowed without the permit. The
primary purposes of noncommercial group use permits include
protection of National Forest System lands and resources,
promotion of public health and safety, and allocation of space
among competing uses of National Forest System lands.

persons who sign this permit are not subject to any individual
liability under this permit as a result of that signature. They
provide their name solely to allow notice of actions pertaining to

legal effect. At least one of the persons who sign this permit
shall be available to the Forest Service from the date this permit
is issued until the use authorized by this permit has concluded.

access to and upon the premises at all times for all lawful and

valid existing rights and claims outstanding in third parties.

improvements except those owned by the United States, and shall
restore the site within
days,
unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. If the holder fails to
remove the improvements, they shall become the property of the
United States, but that will not relieve the holder of liability
for the cost of their removal and the restoration of the site.

owned land. It does not grant any interest in real property. This
permit is not transferable. The holder shall not enter into any
agreements with third parties for occupancy of the authorized
