connecting people to the outdoors, mitigating and adapting to
climate change, and embedding consideration of ecosystem benefits

It is the vision of the Ecological and Water Resources Division to
have healthy lands and waters throughout Minnesota. To accomplish
this vision and DNR's strategic priorities, the Division protects
and manages Minnesota's water and--ecological resources; provides
education and regulatory oversight to businesses, state and local
governments, and landowners; and promotes the diversity of the
state's ecological systems. The Division includes 38 distinct
programs covering a wide range of scientific, management, and
regulatory activities, including: Scientific and Natural Areas,
invasive species, wetlands, nongame wildlife, rare resources,
native plant ecology, regulation of water appropriations and work
in public waters, land use and floodplain management, environmental
review, dam safety, water monitoring and research, stream habitat
restoration, clean water coordination and collaboration, biological
surveys, and climatology. The Division has a workforce of over 400
employees and a biennial budget of approximately $150 million.

Commissioner's Office, is to:
--- Develop and implement goals, policies and programs to
effectively manage ecological and water resources for the people of
Minnesota.

coordination.
--- Promote the advancement of DNR's commitment to diversity,
equity, and inclusion, both in the internal management of the
Division as well as in the Division's external facing work.
--- Serve as a member of the DNR's Senior Management Team to
provide collaborative and coordinated leadership of DNR
activities.
--- Develop and implement a Division structure that executes at a
high level, working within broader department goals, and as part of
a collaborative One DNR approach with other DNR divisions.
--- In conjunction with the Commissioner's Office, direct the
legislative processes affecting the Division, including developing
and presenting proposals for statutory changes and funding
requirements, testifying on other aspects of the Division's work,
and working with individual legislators.
--- Incorporate proactive and strategic communications that connect
DNR's work to existing and new audiences using appropriate media
platforms and approaches. Support efforts to expand DNR
communications to reach wider audiences.
--- Serve as the DNR liaison with other states, the federal
government, and Minnesota Native American Bands on management of
ecological and water resources.
--- Represent the DNR on ecological and water issues to external
