By law, DNR is required to administer state forest practices rules in the State of Washington, plus handle aquatic lands permitting (such as for mooring buoys, marinas and nearshore construction), and surface mining reclamation permits. We also issue permits for firewood gathering, certain forest products and so on. So, yes, we do handle a bit of paperwork here. But one thing we do NOT do is issue licenses for livestock or fish. True, no one has asked, but this classic Monty Python routine takes a well-deserved slap at government licensing and permitting in general. Enjoy. (And, no bee licenses either).
Check out the recreation opportunities this weekend on DNR-managed state trust lands.
Check DNR’s volunteer calendar for ways to get outdoors and help us improve outdoor recreation in Washington State.
