What is the MNRG?
The Midwest Natural Resources Group (MNRG) was formally established in 1998
as a forum for Federal agency senior executives to obtain proactive coordination
of activities and to clearly establish the proper role of each Federal bureau
with the Midwest, including the Upper Mississippi River, Missouri River,
Ohio River and the Great Lakes watersheds. The MNRG aims to achieve this
overarching goal through enhanced communications, coordination and collaboration
on mutually recognized resource issues and by providing timely interagency
assistance where needed.
The result is a dynamic partnership bringing focus and excellence to Federal activities supporting the vitality and sustainability of natural resources and the environment. Working together, the agencies represented by this group are committed to bringing results to the American public in the communities, towns, and farms of the Midwest.
