Research and Exploration Permit
Wetland Research and Exploration Permit Requirements
We require a permit be obtained for any wetland access beyond paved trails and boardwalk. This permit allows us to keep track of how the wetland is being used by groups as well as alerting Campus Safety and Wetland staff to your presence. We will send you a permit that you should always keep with you during your visits after you have filled out the form.
- Plan ahead — it can take up to 3 weeks for requests to be approved so be sure to allow enough time for the permit process!
- Read and follow the Wetland Access Regulations
- Review the Wetland Research Guidelines (if applicable)
- Obtain a Wetland Access Permit
Wetland Research Permit Application
If you are interested in wetland research, you will also need to apply for the permit above. Please review the Wetland Research Guidelines before completing the Wetland Research and Exploration Access Request form. We will strive to process this request as fast as possible, dependent upon the availability of experts to review potential environmental impacts. Please email uwbsust@uw.edu to check on the status of your request. Research permits may take longer to approve depending on the scope of the project.
