Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Strategic Plan, FY 2022-2025, 2022

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is committed to preserving and enhancing Iowa’s natural resources for today’s generation and protecting those resources for posterity. The DNR strives to make Iowa a preferred place to live, recreate, and do business by providing access to natural areas and promoting nature-based activities. This is partly accomplished by fostering collaborative partnerships with citizens, industry, and federal, state, and local governments. DNR’s success is due, in large part, to the fact that its employees work hand-in-hand within the communities they serve
