In 2007 DNR leaders began two years of discussions to better position DNR for the future in the context of challenging trends. The Strategic Conservation Agenda 2009-2013 describes these trends and the eight strategic directions that we are pursuing to achieve our goals in the context of these trends. It forms the core of DNR's performance management system.
The mission of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is to work with citizens to conserve and manage the state's natural resources, to provide outdoor recreation opportunities, and to provide for commercial uses of natural resources in a way that creates a sustainable quality of life.

Trends and Strategic Directions |
DNR is committed to conserving natural resource systems—working with citizens and partners to simultaneously protect natural resources, provide recreational opportunities, and promote a healthy economy. This systems approach to conservation allows us to benefit from interactions among efforts, harness the energy of partnerships, tap the power of the marketplace, and sustain a broad-based commitment to the environment.
