Welcome to DNR's new website. As you can tell, this is still a work in progress (yes, some of the menu choices don't go anywhere yet). As content and features are migrated to the new website, the old pages will be redirected to this new site. Until this site is fully developed, you may use the link below to the old website which will remain fully functional during the transition.

Please look around this new website as it is being built. Let us know what features you'd like to see on the new website, and how we can improve your web experience.
The mission of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is to manage, conserve and protect Illinois' natural, recreational and cultural resources, further the public's understanding and appreciation of those resources, and promote the education, science and public safety of Illinois' natural resources for present and future generations.
