At the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) our mission is:
- To provide professional, forward-looking stewardship of our state lands, natural resources, and environment.
- To provide leadership in creating a sustainable future for the Trusts and all citizens.
We manage 5.6 million acres of forest, range, agricultural, aquatic, and commercial lands for the people of Washington. These lands generate more than $200 million a year, much of it to support public schools, state institutions, and county services. We also manage these lands to provide fish and wildlife habitat, clean and abundant water, and public access for you.
It’s how we are caring for your natural resources… now and forever
