At the DNR, we work toward better, smarter solutions that improve sustainability in our land and resource management, facilities and operations. For more than a century, we have been committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of Michigan’s natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. Sustainability is about that future, about our children and grandchildren, and the world we will leave them.

Sustainable practices support ecological, human and economic health. When certain resources are finite and nonrenewable, decisions about how those resources are used must be made with an eye on long-term goals and priorities.
