State lands
The application to work on lands under the jurisdiction of the
Scientific and Natural Areas Program can be downloaded here. The
application to work on land managed by the Division of Parks and
Recreation here. We will add information about working on other
state lands as quickly as we can.
Prior noticeCheck permit conditions. Even if not expressly
required to do so, you should always contact the manager of that
particular state land unit or with the owner of private land before
your arrival. You want to be aware of the hunting seasons, and, of
course want to be sure that your activities will not interfere with the
activities of that park, wildlife management area, or other state land
unit, and that your activities will not adversely affect public use of
the land or with the activities of private landowners.

or eggs will be issued as provided by parts 6212.1400 to 6212.1700.
Applications for permits from individuals or institutions must be made
in writing and must be submitted as specified. The commissioner will
determine whether the applicant meets the criteria for issuance of the
permit.
Subp. 2.
Issuance of permits.
Permits may be issued only upon written application made by individuals
or institutions currently conducting research or educational programs
in the fields of biology or natural history, and that have appropriate
and adequate facilities for the care, exhibition, or storage of the
specimens sought to be taken, acquired, or possessed. A permit may not
be issued unless the commissioner has first determined that the
permitted act will not be detrimental to the species.
Subp. 3.
Permits for taking.
Permits for the taking of protected wild animals or their parts may be
issued only to named individuals. Permits for taking are valid only for
the named permittees and are not transferable. Permits solely for
possession, transportation, propagation, or disposal may be issued in
the name of an institution or individual.

file a report with the commissioner describing the specimens taken and
