Forest Preserve Temporary Revocable Permit Activity Log

The Department manages nearly 3 million acres of Forest Preserve Land in New York State. Temporary Revocable Permits, typically referred to as TRPs, are issued by the Department to grant permission for the temporary use of these lands to individuals or organizations to carry out projects and activities which are appropriate to such land.

This log was created in an effort to inform the public of current Forest Preserve TRP applications under review, as well as, list those activities (TRPs) previously approved by the Department.

The Department will accept public comment on applications currently under review. Comments must be submitted via email or postmarked no later than the comment period end date.

Comments can be emailed to Preserve Log or mailed to Jim Sessions, NYS DEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4254. Please reference the TRP number in your correspondence.

Note: Once a public comment is received by the Department, it is a public record and is subject to disclosure.
