Welcome to the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. We’re glad you are joining us here at DNREC, as we call ourselves. This page will help get you started with us.

Learn More About Us

DNREC is a large agency. We cover a lot of ground. We offer Delawareans and visitors to the state great recreational opportunities. We keep them safe while they swim, boat, hunt, fish, watch birds, bike, and more. And we help Delawareans keep their air, land, and water safe and pollution-free.

Take a moment to learn about the several divisions and major programs in the department. They have different goals and objectives, but they all work together to meet the Vision, Mission, Values and Priorities of the department.
