Colorado Department of Natural Resources

Just about every day the work we do at the DNR touches your life in some way. When you camp in a state park, enjoy a cold drink of water or spot a bighorn sheep on a canyon drive, these are some of the treasured resources we manage for the benefit of all Coloradans.

It’s our mission to manage and conserve Colorado’s natural resources for the benefit of people today – and tomorrow. That means we have to balance development with conservation so the state we all love provides similar opportunities for our children and their children.
