Service, Science, Sustainability
Under
the leadership of the Commissioner of Public Lands, our work at the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is done with the public’s interest
in mind, which means transparency and public knowledge. Our decisions
are guided by sound science as we manage state trust lands, native
ecosystems and natural resources. We support the vision of a sustainable
future by protecting and managing the natural resources so future
generations will have them. DNR manages
over 5 million acres of state-owned land that includes forest, range,
commercial, agricultural and aquatic lands. We generate revenue that
supports public schools, state institutions and county services. But
managing lands is only half of our story. We also protect other public
resources such as fish, wildlife, water, and provide public access to
outdoor recreation. Two of our largest and most important state-wide
resource protection responsibilities are fire prevention and
suppression, and overseeing forest practices.
The DNR has an annual operating budget of approximately $187
million and has over 1200 permanent employees with approximately 300
additional staff hired during the summer fire season.
We have some of the most talented people in the industry.
We honor diversity in the workplace and support one another with respect
and trust. We invite you to learn more about our culture, our careers,
and why some of the top forestry and natural science professionals have
joined Washington DNR by visiting our DNR website. |
