Minnesota Department of Natural Resources works with other partners to protect and manage the state's natural resources, to provide outdoor recreation opportunities, and to provide for commercial uses of natural resources in a way that creates a sustainable quality of life. MnDNR's vision hinges on the concept of sustainability. Sustainability means protecting and restoring the natural environment while enhancing economic opportunity and community well-being. MnDNR endorsed ecosystem-based management as its method to achieve sustainability, and uses the concept of ecosystem integrity as a benchmark to measure progress toward sustainability goals. MnDNR includes several divisions related to CESU activities: ecological services, fisheries, forestry, lands and minerals, parks and recreation, trails and waterways, waters, and wildlife.
