Introduction
I 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.
D.N R. films and videotapes reflect this wide range of activities. These award-winning productions deal with important conservation issues, and they encourage a better understanding and appreciation of our environment. Because of their exceptional quality, many of these programs have achieved national and international recognition.
All DNR productions are available on '!?'' VHS videotape, and some are available on DVD. They can be purchased for your collection, or you may borrow them at no charge. Please see order form for more information.
