Do I need a Forest Service special use permit for research on State Trust Lands or the NAU Centennial Forest?
No, but you do need to complete a research application and obtain permission from the NAU Centennial Forest to conduct research on Centennial Forest lands, and you need permission to conduct research on Arizona State Trust Lands not in the Centennial Forest from the State Land Department. Information and applications for research on the NAU Centennial Forest, which includes ponderosa pine-Gambel oak forests, pinyon-juniper woodlands, and high-desert grasslands, is available at: http://www.for.nau.edu/centennialforest/.
