    National Parks

    NJ prohibits drones in State Parks unless you have a Special Use Permit. I currently have an SUP from the Division of Forestry and Parks to fly in Island Beach State Park for an environmental beach litter survey I am conducting (Nov 2017 - June 2018). In the application I provided my FAA...
