Partnering for a Prosperous Future
Georgia's natural and cultural resource heritage defines
the state's economy and lifestyle, and the Georgia Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) is the steward of that heritage. As
Gov. Sonny Perdue stated, "If you take care of the land,
the land will take care of you." The DNR strategic
planning process provides a framework for the stewardship and management
of the state's resources for current and future generations
of Georgians.
DNR Strategic Planning Retreat at Redtop Mountain State Park
It is DNR's intent that the strategic planning process
be forward-looking, proactive and effective. The planning effort
is a thorough and wide-reaching process involving members of the
Board of Natural Resources’ Strategic Planning Committee,
DNR leadership and staff, and facilitators from the University
of Georgia Fanning Institute. Plan development includes a significant
amount of public involvement and takes into account the priorities
and perspectives of the citizens of Georgia. DNR conducted extensive
customer surveys to gather opinions from a broad cross-section
of people throughout the state.
The planning process will result in a comprehensive department-level
plan that will provide the goals, objectives and strategies to
guide the development and implementation of division-level strategic
and operational plans beginning in fiscal year 2008.
The DNR vision and mission statements developed by the DNR Board
are guiding the strategic planning teams' efforts during
this development process. The end product will be a dynamic document
for DNR associates and the public that provides a vision and strategy
for achieving an environmentally and economically sustainable Georgia.
