Georgia Department of Natural Resources

Georgia, the largest state east of the Mississippi River, stretches across almost 60,000 square miles of mountains, swamps, beaches, and forests. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (D.N.R.) serves as custodian for these natural areas, and for the abundant animal and plant life that

flourishes here. Through strong environmental regulation, D.N.R. protects public health and safety. D.N.R. also preserves valuable historical areas throughout the state and promotes a variety of outdoor recreation, from hunting and fishing on public lands to swimming in state parks.
