Purpose


The purpose and effect is to provide guidance and clarity to the public and Florida Forest Service State Forest Managers regarding the use of managed lands. Revisions provide guidance and clarity on the matters of vehicular usage, pets, service animals, vendors, and access. Additional purposes and effects are to provide flexibility to allow certain activities on managed lands with written permission which are otherwise prohibited; to provide more flexibility to District and Center Managers to allow extended camping days and use of hunt camps during non-hunting seasons; to increase the penalties for violations from $500 to $1,000 to be consistent with section 590.14, F.S., and to adopt an updated fee schedule.
