14 NATIONAL. FOREST MANUAL. GRAZING. 



ON AND OFF PERMITS. 



Reg. G-18. Persons owning stock which regularly graze on 

 only partially included within a National Forest, or upon range which 

 includes private land of unknown ownership, may be granted permits 

 for such portion of their stock as the circumstances appear to j ustif y, 

 but may be required so to herd or handle their stocK as to prevent 

 trespassing by that portion for which a permit is not granted. 



PRIVATE LANDS. 



Reg. G-19. Persons who own, or who have leased from the owners, 

 unfenced land within any National Forest which they desire to use 

 for grazing purposes without being required to keep their stock upon 

 the land, upon waiving the right to the exclusive use of the private 

 land and allowing it to remain open to other stock grazed upon 

 National Forest land under permit, will be allowed, free of charge, 

 to graze the number of stock upon the National Forest which trie 

 private lands will support. 



The application must be accompanied by a personal certificate of 

 title showing the description and ownership of the land, and, if 

 leased from an owner, a copy of the lease, and must state the number 

 and kind of stock permit is desired for, the range which it is desired 

 to occupy, and the period during which the stock will remain upon 

 the Forest. Permits will be subject to the same restrictions regarding 

 the use of the range as permits issued under other regulations. 



CROSSING PERMITS. 



Reg. G-20. Persons wishing to drive stock across any portion of a 

 National Forest to reach either private or public lands, except when 

 the stock will be driven along a public highway or will not be grazed 

 upon National Forest lands, must make application to the Supervisor 

 or other Forest officer for a permit to graze the stock en route and 

 must have a permit from the Supervisor, or such other Forest officer 

 as he may designate, before entering the National Forest. The appli- 

 cation must state the number of stock to be driven, the date of start- 

 ing, and period required for passage. Grazing must be confined to 

 the limits and along the route designated by the Forest officers, and 

 will only be allowed for the period necessary for stock to cross the 

 National Forest. 



ADVISORY BOARDS. 



Reg. G-21. Whenever any live stock association whose member- 

 ship includes a majority of the owners of any class of live stock using 

 a National Forest or portion thereof shall select a committee, an 

 agreement on the part of which shall be binding upon the association, 

 such committee, upon application to the District Forester, may be 

 recognized as an advisory board for the association, and shall then 

 be entitled to receive notice of proposed action and have an oppor- 

 tunity to be heard by the local Forest officer in reference to increase 

 or decrease in the number of stock to be allowed for any year, the 

 division of the range between different classes of stock or their 

 owners, or the adoption of special rules to meet local conditions.
