Forestry Permits

The Lummi Nation is required to comply with the federal regulations outlined in the National Indian Forest Management Act. Because of this, Title 10 of the Lummi Nation Code of Laws states that:
"It shall be unlawful for any person to harvest or assist in the harvest of any standing green timber, including Christmas trees, or any downed firewood or other forestry product on any lands or beaches within the exterior boundaries of the Lummi Reservation without a permit from Lummi Natural Resources Department".

The Forestry Division issues 4 types of permits:

• Timber Cutting Permits
• Burning Permits
• Beachwood Permits
• Firewood Permits
