The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is a government agency responsible for managing and protecting a state's natural resources, including land, water, forests, and wildlife. Its primary goal is to ensure sustainable use and conservation of these resources for future generations. The DNR often oversees parks, recreational areas, and wildlife habitats, promoting outdoor activities and environmental education. In addition to conservation efforts, the DNR regulates activities such as hunting, fishing, and forestry to maintain ecological balance. The agency collaborates with local communities, businesses, and other organizations to promote responsible resource management and address environmental challenges, ensuring a healthy ecosystem for all.
