Important to Remember
DNR-managed natural resource lands are not parks. Roads on state lands are often unpaved and regularly traveled by logging trucks and other heavy equipment.
Contacts
After the initial contact with the agency liaison, the film company works with regional offices for permits and fees for specific locations. Each filming project is reviewed individually for risk, liability, and environmental concerns, as well as compatibility with legal mandates and department policies.
Typically, costs to permit are $3,000 and above. DNR costs are high as they are dealing with trust lands, not public lands, so it is imperative that they cover their costs and do not deplete DNR trust income.
