Missouri Department of Natural Resources

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources was created on July 1, 1974, under the Omnibus State Reorganization Act of 1974 and Missouri Revised Statutes, section 640.010, RSMo. Missouri’s air, land and water resources play an important role in our health and are essential to the environmental and economic vitality of our state. The department aspires to help Missouri citizens thrive by balancing a healthy environment with a healthy economy. The department provides a range of services to help Missouri citizens, communities and businesses protect and improve the air, land and water resources that we all share. The department also provides opportunities to learn more about Missouri’s natural and cultural history at our state parks and historic sites.
