About Agriculture & Forest Environment

The health and vitality of our lands, waters, and communities support our way of life and economy in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Division of Agriculture and Forest Environment works to sustain, promote, and enhance Rhode Island's agricultural viability and preserve, manage, and promote healthy forests and community trees for today and for generations to come.

 

DEM’s Permit Application Portal is your one-stop shop for doing business with us.

The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) has launched a new online system for applications and forms administered by the Division of Agriculture and Forest Environment, including agricultural product registrations, commercial pesticide applicators, animal health permits and licenses, and forestry applications.
