The DNR is committed to the fair and responsible management of resources in the Northern Lower Peninsula. This incorporates the ecological, social and economic impact of resource management decisions into the DNR's decision making process. It also involves creating opportunities for citizens and stakeholders in the region to communicate to the DNR what they value and why, and to create true partnerships with private land owners and other agencies that will result in "best practice" decision making.
