Project Map


Capital Overview

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages more than 5 million acres of state-owned forest, agricultural, range, aquatic and urban lands. The department provides long-term stewardship of the natural resources entrusted to it as Washington State's second largest landowner. As a state lands resource management agency, DNR generates revenue to support schools, universities, prisons, mental hospitals, local services, capitol buildings, and the state general fund. Resource management also includes managing the public demand for access to the state's forests and waters, the campgrounds, trails, shorelines, and special natural areas which are undergoing increasing pressure to allow greater public use.

DNR is also a resource protection agency. In this role, the Department promotes wildfire prevention, fights wildfires, regulates timber harvesting and other forestry activities on private and state lands, regulates mining and conserves some of the highest quality aspects of the state's outstanding natural heritage.
