Forest Practices 

Here’s where to find help if you’re interested in harvesting timber, building or repairing forest roads or culverts, thinning your forest, or want to know about other forest practices. This is where you can:

  • Apply for or look up a forest practices permit.
  • Find minutes, agendas, or other information about the Forest Practices Board, the official body that sets regulations for forestry in the State of Washington.
  • Find information about the technical requirements to follow when working in the woods.
