DNR manages more than five million acres of state-owned aquatic and uplands on properties to provide benefits for specific trust beneficiaries and the general public, including:
- 2.1 million acres of aquatic lands including Washington's navigable lakes and rivers, the waters of Puget Sound and ocean bays
- 2.1 million acres of forest lands throughout the state
- 1.2 million acres of dryland agriculture, orchards, vineyards, irrigated agricultural and grazing lands (including 300,000 acres of grazeable forest lands)
- Urban and commercial properties and transition lands
- Natural Resources Conservation Areas and Natural Area Preserves
Diverse State Lands
DNR-managed lands include: high-altitude meadows, waterfalls, San Juan Island sites, old growth and "working forests", rain forests, viewpoints above Seattle/ Bellevue from a distance, open range lands in pine forests of south/eastern Washington, "underwater lands" of Puget Sound, harbors, marinas, waterfronts in cities and towns, spectacular views in the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, orchards, vineyards rising from the desert, wetlands, wheatlands in the rolling Palouse hills, rustic recreation sites, interpretive areas, and Americans with Disabilities Approved access areas.
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.
